From Michael Rosenblum, the bestselling author of Happily Ever Always: A Guide to Personal Transformation, Security, Confidence, and Healthy Self, comes a debut book for beginning readers. This ageless story introduces us to a caterpillar named “Fear”. Fear is afraid of everything – the other critters who share the garden, lightning storms, being bullied and making new friends. A chance encounter with a wise butterfly named “Faith” helps Fear find the courage within to experience the world in a bolder and more joy-filled way. Rosenblum’s message for children is simple yet profound: fear is just faith turned inside out.


“Children will realize that changing fear to faith is up to them as they explore this magical story. Bravo, Michael Rosenblum!”

    "The message in this book is powerful. It's a story about the importance of believing in yourself. Being a teacher for over 20 years, a parent and grandparent, I can recommend this beautifully written and illustrated book to all my friends and family. In fact, I have bought several books as gifts. It's a great way to have a productive conversation
    with children about things they might experience in school, the playground or in their own family. Enjoy!"

    A friend involved in a children's reading group told me about this newly released book based on positive messaging and illustrations. The Caterpillar and the Butterfly, from page one, captivates both children and adults. Fear and Faith journey and share in a caring and kind way which relates to everyone. My children wanted the next chapter; they wanted the characters to dance. My girlfriend and mothers from the reading group stated that the illustrated examples depict real life situations which are easily explained and understood. Thank you for putting smiles on my kids faces, especially during COVID. Stuffed animals would be great!!!

    Received your books & oh what a joy I have had shaing with my family members. Went to my nephew's & read it to his 2-year old daughter. She was enthralled with the story and the fabulous characters and colors. Her favorite parts were when Fear saw Faith for the first time & then seeing Fear reading books with his new friends. My next stop was to my sister's house. My parents were visiting and my 78-year old mother then read the book to all 7 of us. Thanks for making our hearts happy!

    I purchased this book for my 1st grandchild, Sebastian. It actually touched my heart! I read in one of the reviews before I purchased it that schools should give every child this book to read and I couldn't agree more. The illustrations are brilliant and the story carries a very valuable lesson. I HIGHLY recommend this book with all my heart - LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

  • Jacqueline Sanders

    Do you believe in fear or faith. Faith can and will be contagious because fear ain’t no fun!! Teach your children what’s real and having FAITH can bring you thru…

  • Orner

    I love this book because it takes an age-old concept of the caterpillar (FEAR) turning into a butterfly (FAITH) and brings it down to a level that young children will easily relate to. The pictures are magical. I love this book.

  • Robert Lazaneo

    This is a really sweet story that I bought to share with my grandchildren.

  • Shoba S.

    Simple concept that’s relatable to everyone! It’s amazing what one can accomplish when they conquer their fears. Suddenly nothing seems impossible and all our obstacles dissolve. Love the book and highly recommend it!
