Red Butterfly

Kara has to travel to many new places. Do you think she likes to travel to these new cities? How would you feel if you were in Kara’s place?
Kara’s story is told through poetry. How do her poems change in each section of the story? Have you read other books of poetry? Do the poems in that book tell one story like Kara’s, or does each tell a different one?
Some children in Kara’s story have differences that are visible on the outside, and some are not. Every person has something that makes them different, and every person has something that makes them special. Think of you and your friends. What makes each of you different from the other, and what makes each of you special?
Kara uses poetry to describe the world around her. A Haiku is a short three-line form of Japanese poetry that is easy to write. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables. Can you write a Haiku to describe your home? Can you make a short book of Haiku poems?
