Pip and the Changing Caterpillar: How Hope Grows

Summer is ending, and Aeva and Pip meet a chubby little caterpillar who is sure something is wrong with her - she has no wings, and she simply cannot stop eating. "Am I just a munching machine?" she sighs. But Aeva knows a wonderful secret: she isn't a munching machine at all - she's a super-caterpillar, getting ready for a giant journey. As the days grow cold, the caterpillar wraps herself into a little green shell and goes very, very still... and now Pip must learn the hardest, most beautiful thing of all - how to hope. To wait, and trust, and keep his friend company, even when he can't see what's happening inside. Then one crisp morning, the little shell turns clear as glass, and something breathtaking begins.Pip and the Changing Caterpillar is the ninth book in Aeva's Little Wonders - a series of gentle, read-aloud picture books for ages 3-5, where every story grows one warm, big-hearted lesson.
