A little caterpillar wants to fly. In this story, I invite you all to Join with him in his journey to fly in the sky. As part of any journey, there are phases success, phases of failures, phases of trying and experimenting, and sometimes elongated periods of just waiting. Yes, waiting. Sometimes waiting can be fun too. Also, find out how does the caterpillar handle his emotions when he is sad. Don't forget to ask yourself and your little ones this subliminal question ' And when you are sad, what do you do ?' My son Aditya (now 5 year) when he was 3 and half years old drew this picture of a happy caterpillar hanging and flying on a pink balloon. I decided to make a story out of his curious drawings.
