Summary

A heartening story of how coming together and working as a team can produce wonderful results

Description

When Binky turns from caterpillar to butterfly, it's a disaster! His wings won't work and poor Binky can't fly. Luckily, the spiders, silkworms and bees come to his aid. Together they work out how to give Binky a pair of bright, strong wings.

Critic Reviews

"A heart-warming book with a powerful message about empathy, kindness, and the joy of working collaboratively and helping each other."

Booktrust - Books we Love

"Incorporating themes of inclusion and empathy, this movingly told and illustrated story demonstrates the power of co-operation and determination. Rich in pattern and texture, Carolina Rabei's expressive mixed media illustrations are reflective of the softly spoken, uplifting narrative."
