A heartfelt and hilarious story about caterpillars, butterflies . . . and learning to be yourself!

This little caterpillar can’t wait to become a butterfly, swoop-a-looping with massive flying wings. But there is TOO MUCH WAITING. First, you have to eat LOTS of leaves. Then you have to make a cocoon . . . and wait some MORE before you can grow wings and fly!

But what happens if you come out of your cocoon to find that you're not a butterfly after all? Could there be another destiny in wait?

This laugh-out-loud story is a celebration of accepting your true identity – perfect for little ones interested in butterflies, moths and the natural world!

Filled with beautiful illustrations inspired by nature, combining humour and science to brilliant effect.

Also available: We Are the Wibbly! A story about frogs, tadpoles and growing up!
