Harry loves everything about his caterpillar life: crawling up trees, eating leaves, playing with his caterpillar friends, and participating in the Caterpillar Games each Friday. He even
enjoys going to caterpillar school where his teacher, a beautiful butterfly named Ms. Betty, teaches about the best leaves to eat. Then one day, Ms. Betty teaches a lesson called "How to
Build a Cocoon," where she tells her caterpillar students about building cocoons and turning into butterflies. Harry cannot believe that he has to give up the life he loves as a caterpillar
to become a butterfly. Harry decides he won't grow up — he wants to stay the same. Harry's friends, however, teach him that change is a good and promising part of life. Harry's endearing,
colorfully illustrated story helps children not to fear change and highlights the positive aspects of growth in our rapidly changing world.
