A winter discovery in Loretta’s garden

Loretta’s affection for her mountain garden and its ladybugs turns a seasonal question into the story’s central thread: where do the insects go when winter comes? While gathering pine needles for her strawberry patch, she finds ladybugs sheltering beneath a rock and loose tree bark, then brings them home. The contrast between their summer activity and winter hiding places gives the book a clear nature-focused arc, while Loretta’s bond with her parents and garden frames her learning how to care for the insects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in insects and gardens
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about nature and caring for animals

Book overview

Where do the Ladybugs go in Winter?

Loretta is a mischievous girl who lives in a cabin high up in the Colorado mountains. She loves her garden and the ladybugs that protect it. They tickle her arms in the summer. They lay eggs and hatch babies. They eat the bugs that want to eat her plants. But where do they go in the winter? On a cold winter day while collecting pine needles for her strawberry patch, she discovers ladybugs hiding under a rock. She finds more behind a chunk of loose tree bark. She brings them home where they warm up and fly around.

But Ladybugs are supposed to sleep in the winter.

Through a loving relationship with her parents and her garden, Join Loretta as she learns how to take care of ladybugs.
