Caterpillar Chryzzle - Andrew Bond, Julie Volk

A caterpillar trusts its instincts and is rewarded with a new perspective on the world in this beautiful and simple ode to a butterfly’s metamorphosis.So I’m chryzzaling and wonder where we’re heading, and what is the deeper meaning of it all. Worm and caterpillar are best friends. But when caterpillar starts talking about a strange “chryzzaling” feeling and thinks it might soon change, worm can only giggle and shake its head. Caterpillar enters its chrysalis, but worm is impatient and crawls away. Worm therefore misses when a butterfly emerges and soars into the sky, finding a whole new view on life. With beautiful watercolor illustrations that show how one’s perspective changes over time, this picture book is a poetic reminder of the beauty in trusting one’s feelings and not being afraid to fly to new heights.
