Tender story explores the emotions of change and growth, reminding young readers that it’s okay to feel sad or unsure as we navigate life’s transformations.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows Sessile the caterpillar. She’s a nice friend, a kind neighbor, and a true delight. With her vibrant colors, elegant tiny shoes for every occasion, and boundless charm, she brightens every path she takes. Each day, she follows the same familiar route, stretching her many legs, showing off her fabulous footwear, and chatting with friends. But one morning, something feels… wrong. Her legs feel tangled and heavy, her usual routine seems dull, and no matter what she does, she just can’t shake the feeling that something inside her is changing. Her friends try to help, offering their best advice — smiling in the mirror, spending time with family, staying active, or reading a good book — but nothing quite fits. On the way home, Sesille sees the butterflies fluttering freely above. If only she could be like them… Then, one of them lands beside her and shares a secret: this strange, unsettled feeling is simply part of growing up. Soon, everything will change, and Sessile will become something new and beautiful.
