The Tale of a Caterpillar with a Butterfly-Shaped Heart - Paperback

by Theddee Rheyshelle (Author), Jennywren O'Diomasaigh (Illustrator)

"Oh dear, oh dear! What if I never have wings?"

As Momma Monarch searched for the perfect place to lay her precious egg, she sang powerful words, instilling in her Little One the confidence and knowing she would need to face each phase of her journey of becoming all she was meant to be.

Snuggled in her cozy shell, Little One dreamed she was flying. As she dreamed, she grew and grew and pushed and stretched until she broke through the limitations of what had once been her comfort zone-only to face a big, huge, scary unknown. Imagine her disappointment when she caught sight of her reflection in a morning drop of dew, and she didn't look anything like the creature in her dreams.

With each overwhelming step along the way, Little One found the strength and courage to keep moving forward by remembering the words Momma Monarch had sung-words that gave her an identity and an unshakeable knowing that she was meant for more.

The Tale of a Caterpillar with a Butterfly-Shaped Heart is an illustrated book with an accompanying audio of the song that helped author Theddee Rheyshelle discover the shape of her own heart and become the storyteller she was always meant to be.
