Beetle and Caterpillar are friends who visit each other every day. One morning, Beetle can't find Caterpillar (who has turned into a chrysalis), so Beetle sets out to find its friend. After a very long journey, Beetle realizes it made a mistake and readies itself to head back. Before Beetle can leave, a new friend-Butterfly-arrives...and Beetle realizes Butterfly is its old friend Caterpillar!

This is a simple, but eye-catching story with lovely illustrations. It went in an unexpected direction, but I loved it! It’s a story of change and friendship, which is beautiful.

A sweet and heartfelt story about lasting friendship.
I am constantly amazed at the way an illustrator can create so much emotion with such simple illustrations. Naylor-Ballesteros excels at it.
Lovely.

When the beetle is so startled he spills his tea! Cracks me up every time.

Classic tale of caterpillar/butterfly. Nicely done. Enjoy the black and white illustrations and contrast of bright color. I enjoyed the non-explanation and acceptance of the metamorphosis. Would be good for kids going back to school and a lesson in “not everything needs a comment”. Your friend has new glasses, grown three feet, has wings...just be a friend.

I genuinely loved this book and the message in it. The art is amazing and the story is easy for young kiddos to follow even without someone reading to them.
