When Arabella Miller first encounters Tiny Caterpillar, a gentle kinship is born. The young girl provides for her new friend - making him a home, and collecting lots of crunchy leaves for his ravenous appetite. Bit by bit, as Caterpillar grows in size, Little Arabella grows in heart and wonder - witnessing the transformation of Tiny Caterpillar, into nature’s butterfly. Lyrical and light, the volume is cleverly poised between information text and vibrant picture book - communicating the cycle of life with tenderness, colour and affect.
