description: "Mum! Mum! Guess what I've found!" Tony was holding his hands together to make a small, dark cave. Inside was a privet hawk moth ("called Junie because it's June now"), unable to fly. Tony and his mother feed June on her favourite foods and make her a special moth hospital. But one day she dies. Tony is in tears, until he discovers that June has left him a present...This unusual book combines practical information and natural history with an exciting story. It also has a positive message of death and new life. The idea came from a real-life incident, when Elaine Brown's own son brought home an injured moth.
