A heartwarming tale of a girl waiting for her beloved Papá to return when the monarchs fly south to their home in Mexico.Lucía loves to watch the monarchs' migration from her home in Mexico with Papá. But this year, the monarchs' journey north holds extra weight; Papá is heading north, too, to look for work. He promises her that when "the weather turns cold and the monarcas return, our winged ancestors will guide me home." So while he spends the summer months harvesting produce on faraway farms, Lucía watches the skies for signs of the monarchs'—and her papá's—return. Told through the parallel stories of the butterflies’ journey and Lucía's migrant farmer father, Cynthia Harmony's A Flicker of Hope is a love letter to the power of families and nature, both of which know no borders.

English Translation

A Flicker of Hope

Lucía loves watching monarch butterflies migrate near her home in Mexico with her Papá. But this year, as the monarchs journey north, so does he—leaving to find work on farms far away. He promises that when the weather turns cold and the monarcas return, they will guide him home too. Through parallel stories of butterflies and a migrant father, this tender picture book celebrates family, hope, and nature's power to cross borders, offering young readers a moving look at migration and reunion.
