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!”

    Thrilled to be the first reviewer. I believe firmly in giving books to children as gifts. They can be forever gifts. And they can be so special. This book will join my list of favorite Forever books. It is beautiful to look at and the message is both simple and important. The message is delivered in a way that children will both understand and appreciate it. And it wouldn’t hurt for adults to take it in either…

  • Nadia G

    This book is lovely and full of heart. There is a profound message, but it is very gently presented in this sweet story. Children are always facing new things that might cause them to be fearful, and this is a book that you can refer to as an example of how to handle those fearful feelings. I am buying one for every kid in my world — and their parents! Also, it’s a beautiful work of art. The drawings are gorgeous. I’m leaving one out on my coffee table! I highly recommend it.

    The Caterpillar and the Butterfly is an inspirational and engaging work that will become a classic that can be passed down from generation to generation. The theme of inspiring the reader to develop courage and faith from within is timeless, and the illustrations inspire the imagination. So glad I purchased the hardcover!
