by Ross Burach
When a group of caterpillars scamper up a tree to metamorphosize, one of them is still learning about this whole transformation thing.
Who knew that with a little time, and patience, he could become a beautiful butterfly? But the two-week wait inside is chrysalis feels interminable. ("Can I get a comic book?" "What if I need the bathroom?" "Anyone want to play a game?"). His fellow caterpillars all tell him to be patient and let nature take its course, but the waiting is just so hard. Can he do it?
With warmth, wit, and a flair for hilarious cartooning, Ross Burach turns a relatable feeling and an evergreen curriculum topic into an endearing picture book that has all the hallmarks of a modern classic.
