The Caterpillar Who Couldn't Butterfly

By Kristi Otero

Gloria, a caterpillar, can't turn into a butterfly. Everywhere she turns, all the other caterpillars transform into beautiful butterflies, leaving her alone as a caterpillar. With the support of her friends and family, she soon realizes she was beautiful the whole time. But will she get her wish to turn into a beautiful butterfly?

Those who read The Caterpillar Who Couldn't Butterfly will learn to appreciate all they have to be grateful for and will see their own value and beauty, rather than look too closely at their faults.
