Simple, yet deep, this delightful book is suitable for older toddlers. Exquisite illustrations in a wistful, gentle story.
- Carousel

A poetic ballad about the aspirations of two caterpillars. But life doesn't always go the way we want. Some of us end up as butterflies, some as moths. Wonderful. Age 3+.

A story about loss, diversity and the mystery of nature. Touching and beautiful.
- Irish Post

Another successful collaboration between two well-loved children's authors - Jeanne Willis' language is simple yet lyrical and Tony Ross matches its impact with his beautiful drawings. It's a magical combination for a lovely story.
