Beaver Island, MI – Sep 09, 2026 - Independent children’s author Kris Ries is proud to announce the release of My Three Me’s, a charming new rhyming picture book that introduces young readers to the extraordinary life cycle of the Monarch butterfly.

Set in motion on Beaver Island, the story follows a Monarch from egg to caterpillar to butterfly, capturing the wonder of growth, transformation, and migration through playful, memorable verse. Unlike many children’s books on butterflies, My Three Me’s gives special attention to what happens inside the chrysalis, helping children better understand one of nature’s most fascinating transformations.

Designed for parents, educators, and young readers, the book blends engaging storytelling with real-world science, making it both entertaining and educational. Through rhythmic language and vivid imagery, children are introduced to concepts such as metamorphosis, migration, nectar feeding, and the vital role of milkweed in the Monarch’s survival

“My Three Me’s was created to spark curiosity and wonder about the natural world,” said Kris Ries. “I wanted children to enjoy the journey of the Monarch while also learning something meaningful about how amazing these creatures truly are.”

The book is especially valuable for families and classrooms seeking age-appropriate ways to introduce science through story. With its lyrical voice and educational focus, My Three Me’s offers a reading experience that is both delightful and enriching.
