How the Caterpillar Got its Wings

"How the Caterpillar Got Its Wings" by Jana Garnettóis a story that has a literal and figurative message. The literal story of how caterpillars become butterflies serves as a tool to facilitate dialogue about feelings between parent/teacher and child/student. The figurative message is open to interpretation and may apply to many important life transitions or just change in general. The objectives encourage us to acknowledge the function and potency of our feelings. In acknowledging, naming, and expressing our feelings, we release them and maintain both intrapersonal and interpersonal health. In fact, we are transformed by these behaviors! This delightful children's book includes an audio CD with the story and fun activities as well.
