The Caterpillar and the Butterfly

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 Caterpillar And The Butterfly is a beautiful, empowering, emotional, heartwarming, and gorgeous book! This is one of the most touching children's books I have ever read. This beautiful book is about learning to believe in yourself and turning your fear into faith. This concept is beautifully illustrated not only through the illustrations and storyline but also through the main characters names. Fear the Caterpillar earned his name from his shy timid nature. He is scared of everything and constantly filled with worry until he meets a kind butterfly named Faith. Faith approaches fear with compassion and understanding. She promises she will not let anything bad happen to him and helps him overcome his fears one by one. Fear expresses his wish to be more like Faith. He is surprised when Faith says it is possible for him to fly someday too. She tells him the key to flying is believing in himself even when he is afraid. While reflecting later that night, Fear realizes he does believe in himself and something magical happens. This books is undoubtedly a must read! It truly touched my heart ❤️
