A Butterfly Without Wings
Description
The innocence of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar with a touch of attitude. "Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? I'm not a caterpillar. I'm a butterfly without wings." When a caterpillar spots a green leaf waving from the top of a tree, he does not think twice about the dangers lurking about. Instead, he comes up with a plan to trick those who would otherwise eat him. A Butterfly Without Wings is the charming story of a hungry, self-confident, and determined caterpillar that refuses to let obstacles stop him from reaching for his goal. The caterpillar proves that if you believe in yourself and set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. With snappy dialogue, humor, and perfect pacing, award-winning author David M. F. Powers captures the spirit of determination and self-confidence. Powers' spirited text is perfectly paired with artist Natalia's colorful and very lively artwork. Parents and their children will love reading and re-reading this celebration of self confidence.
