"In this historically accurate biography, Paul Butler paints a vivid picture of the life and times of Theodore Mead. Theodore Mead helped keep Florida a "Land of Flowers, and was one of America's most distinguished entomologists and horticulturist. But despite this success, a significant part of his life remained unfulfilled. Orchids and Butterflies is ultimately the story of one man's search for meaning in life."--

In this “deeply personal and lyrical book” (Publishers Weekly) from the New York Times bestselling author of The Horse, Wendy Williams explores the lives of one of the world’s most resilient creatures—the butterfly—shedding light on the role that they play in our ecosystem and in our human lives. “[A] glorious and exuberant celebration of these biological flying machines…Williams takes us on a humorous and beautifully crafted journey” (The Washington Post). From butterfly gardens to zoo exhibits, these “flying flowers” are one of the few insects we’ve encouraged to infiltrate our lives. Yet, what has drawn us to these creatures in the first place? And what are their lives really like? In this “entertaining look at ‘the world’s favorite insect’” (Booklist, starred review), New York Times bestselling author and science journalist Wendy Williams reveals the inner lives of these delicate creatures, who are far more intelligent and tougher than we give them credit for. Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles each year from Canada to Mexico. Other species have learned how to fool ants into taking care of them. Butterflies’ scales are inspiring researchers to create new life-saving medical technology. Williams takes readers to butterfly habitats across the globe and introduces us to not only various species, but “digs deeply into the lives of both butterflies and [the] scientists” (Science magazine) who have spent decades studying them. Coupled with years of research and knowledge gained from experts in the field, this accessible “butterfly biography” explores the ancient partnership between these special creatures and humans, and why they continue to fascinate us today. “Informative, thought-provoking,” (BookPage, starred review) and extremely profound, The Language of Butterflies is a “fascinating book [that] will be of interest to anyone who has ever admired a butterfly, and anyone who cares about preserving these stunning creatures” (Library Journal).

As part of a series of artworks, Stanza painted an ink and watercolour illustration of the letter A in which the name of the flower and the butterfly began with A; the result was beautiful and inspiring. This led to the letter B and a year later the alphabet was complete. Most of the original artworks were sold, but in 2016 she worked with her husband to turn the stunning series into a book featuring the entire alphabet. It is a colourful book of beautiful artworks for everyone.
