A gorgeous book following little green the caterpillar as she confronts her worries about change. Her friends have all changed into butterflies and little green will be next, however she's not quite sure how she feels about changing and is worried and scared. She sets out to talk to others about it but gets her feelings dismissed and is told she is silly. Finally, rabbit listens to little green and she starts to feel better and ready to undergo her transformation.

An enjoyable rhyming book that shows the importance of listening to others and the impact that just being heard can have on how someone feels.
