We Are Like CATERPILLARS - Hardcover

by Ryan Fortenberry (Author), Jeremy Loyd (Illustrator)

Several years ago, while I was driving my son to soccer practice, He asked me a question about what happens to us when we die. I was completely surprised by his question and how to answer it so that a 5yr-old would understand. However, I was the one that was surprised and amazed. After I made my attempt to answer his question, his response completely caught me off guard. In his deep little mind, he illustrated to me a fantastic truth of how we can see God through nature. He explained to me that we are all like caterpillars and that one day we will enter the cocoon and transform into a majestic butterfly. He also explained that as a caterpillar we only see what is in front of us, but when we transform into butterflies we will then see eternity that we never really knew existed.
