Mariposa

Mariposa is a caterpillar about to become a butterfly who knows she is different from the others. She does not fit in and is often teased by the others but hopes that by entering her cocoon she will emerge like the rest.

What Mariposa does not know is that she is destined to become a Queen. Mariposa is a beautifully illustrated story of one caterpillar’s journey to understand why she is different and ultimately discovering she may be the most important one of all.

Mariposa is a wonderful read aloud for parents to instill confidence in their children and makes a great read-aloud for any classroom teacher trying to teach the theme of self-worth and the courage to be yourself.

Reminiscent of the Ugly Duckling and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Mariposa is sure to be a hit with children and parents alike.

After all, it is what is on the inside that truly matters.
