Children often do not understand why they have to wait for something to happen. "Just Wait" is a lesson in patience. It teaches that having to wait can be a good thing. "All things come to those who wait" is a phrase well remembered. In this charming story, a small caterpillar is told to wait, but he does not know why. He simply obeys and waits. In the end, he finds out why he had to remain patient for so long. He spreads his wings as a beautiful butterfly, and he relays the message to another. Beautifully illustrated and written with plenty of heart, this wonderful story shares an important message that children - and adults - should hold onto for life. Waiting is not always easy, but it can lead to the greatest rewards.
