What does it mean to be beautiful? A caterpillar ponders this tangled question in Antonella Capetti‘s lovely, gentle picture book with a retro look, translated from Italian by Lisa Topi and illustrated in muted reds, antique gold and cool blues by award-winning artist Melissa Castrillon. A delight for caregivers and children alike. #kidlit #picturebook #philosophy

This children‘s picture book presents two important concepts: the importance of questioning—even though it can be unsettling to seek knowledge; and to accept that others may all have confusingly differing views, making it necessary to ponder personal meaning.

Once, there was a caterpillar. He was happy on his leaf. Actually—leaves! There were lots. Every day he‘d sleep, eat, crawl around, and sleep some more. It was a good, simple life. He never questioned anything.

5🌟 HAPPY PUB DAY! First of all this is one of the most gorgeously illustrated picture books I have ever read! The art and colors are so pleasing. My daughter wants to read this at least once a day and I'm more than happy to because not only is it such a pretty book but the message is such an important one for kids to learn. An absolutely wonderful way to show children that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Simply stunning! #bookreview
