A beautiful story full of life lessons.

It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to finish this book (almost year and a half) but DO NOT BE FOOLED it had nothing to do with the book itself. But I'm glad I didn't finish it all in a week or so. I finished it at the right time, when I most needed to hear a reminder of its main message.
All my life I've been yearning for the answers to all the questions Caterfly had too, and it felt so comforting to share that. I found myself connecting Caterflys experiences with my own in my life, and the ENDING, God, it was so comforting to remember that endless, infinite love and light is within you, something you can grow and learn, not within a religion or philosophy.
The way De Paul writes such complex and emotional human experience in such an easy to understand way is phenomenonal. I see myself reading this to kids, for it's really that universal for any age. Its like if the "A Bugs Life" movie was co-written by Kenneth Grahame and Bhudda. I love finding literature like this, that can be for kids to understand difficult things like philosophy and the meaning of life, and yet the book doesn't dumb it down to be understood my kids. it doesn't feel "childish" or "silly." Anyway, happy to welcome this book with lifelong status on my bookshelf😌
