Description

On a broad green leaf sit ten rather gorgeous (though they do say so themselves) caterpillars. And all they can talk about is what beautiful butterflies they are going to be! But not Frank. Frank is a very plain caterpillar, but he's fine with that. There's so much beauty to see all around him, and so many interesting insects to say good morning to. When the butterflies hatch, they are not happy. Not one of them looks quite as fabulous as they thought they would. Except for Frank . . . A funny and inspiring picture book from Alex Latimer, author of the award-winning Godfrey is a Frog, which explores the beauty of being content with what you have.

Media Reviews

"Bright, engaging illustrations pull readers into Frank's vibrant world... This book is a warm, funny reminder that joy comes from embracing who you are and where you're going." * Beth Ash, The School Librarian *
"Through words, pictures and his classic deadpan humour, wonderful characters and an illustrated explanation of how Frank the caterpillar becomes Frank the butterfly, Latimer brings little ones important messages about looking outside yourself to find true happiness." * The Lancashire Post *
"This book teaches readers to just be grateful for what they have rather than being envious of what they don't have. The heartfelt message is complemented with vibrant and fun illustrations that kids will love to look at whilst engaging with this lovely story." * Jasmine Talbot, Mostly Books as part of the Booksellers Circle *
