Embarking on the journey of a lifetime, Clarence, a young caterpillar, learns what he really is to become. Befriended by a darling robin chick named Tilly, Clarence squeals with delight as he rides upon Tilly's back, dreaming of being able to fly himself someday. This unlikely duo ventures into the Great Wood in search of a home they will share. During their exploits, they encounter a host of strange yet exciting creatures. It's through these adventures that Clarence learns about God, the Creator of all things, the truly wondrous change that he will experience as autumn draws near, and the deepest truth of all, God's love for them and all the wonderful things He has created. Children and adults alike have a natural way of connecting with the wonders of God's creatures. Whether reading it for themselves or being read to, stories of animals portraying people characteristics are timeless. Enjoyed by all age groups, they take the reader from the familiar "people to people" relationship and bring them into a world of possibilities. The hopes and dreams that woodland creatures might have, not unlike the readers, teach love and respect for others while building moral character.
