A beautiful story of friendship and change.

Illustrated with gorgeous black, white, and red drawings (charcoal?).

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.
