Her journey is juxtaposed with the stories of wild animals that <br /> migrate--monarch butterflies, polar bears, birds, and the giant sperm whale--all brought vividly to <br /> life through Hobey Ford's beautiful handmade puppets. Ford masterfully combines storytelling, <br /> puppetry, and animation to present an original, engaging tale of hope and change. This <br /> performance is an excellent companion to the study of animals, migration, the metamorphosis of <br /> the monarch butterfly, Mexico, immigration, environmental awareness, and geography. <br /> The performance and its study guide also support the English Language Arts and Theatre Arts <br /> objectives from the North Carolina (NC) Standard Course of Study, as presented in the table <br /> below. A study guide will be available to teachers prior to the performance. <br /> Page 5 of 22 <br />
