She became an activist on behalf of the Mission Blue butterfly and its habitat when she lived near Twin Peaks in San Francisco. She formed an organization to create greater awareness and support as she gathered information for the book along with a great collection of objects and resources, but then was devastated by a fire that changed everything. When she found the charred manuscript a few years ago, she began again. This marks her 16th publication. Dr. Auerbach's books range from parenting, child care, play and toys to a novel and screenplay. She shares her enthusiasm for butterflies and concern for the well-being of our delicate planet. Butterflies are sensitive indicators of balance.
