I agree. The only Caterpillar book I remember reading was A very hungry Caterpillar. This book seems to bring out much more in a young children's book. Even though I'm not a child or a mother, this review made me feel like I should read it.
It's a little gem. Thanks for stopping in and sharing a comment.

Sounds like a great book. Children are naturally so attracted to the natural world, and it's a shame that in this day and age we fail to encourage and develop that curiosity. This sounds like a book I would love to read to my own children.

Though this is a book for children, its lessons are profound. I have a copy of "Hope for the Flowers," another caterpillar book for kids that is also fitting for adults.

The butterfly is a fascinating species that transforms from ugly to beautiful after much struggle. We would do well to learn from it.

Thanks for the fascinating review. I am a Cancer, so I am a water woman. But I do not believe in horoscopes.

It's interesting how astrology is tied into a book for children. This sounds like a book worth checking, particularly for the learning opportunities it offers. Thanks for this wonderful review - it made me feel so nostalgic!

Yes, I fear screens are replacing experiences of nature. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.

Yes, the astrology piece was interesting to me. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it added interest to the story. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This book sounds incredible! I'm a sucker for sensitive, wholesome children's books. It's also evident that this is a topic that the author cares passionately about, and normally this kind of passion about spiritual and humanistic subjects lends books a very particular lightly-heartfelt quality. Thanks for the great review!

This book seems to make the most of a child's affinity to nature. The way it explores the theme of change is interesting.

Thank you for the lovely review.

This seems like a very educational book and a great way to get kids interested in nature and insects. My nephew is probably a little young for this book, but he loves insects, so I'll definitely keep it in mind for him in a year or two. Thanks for the review.
