Do butterflies remember being caterpillars when they were small? This is what Kemushi the caterpillar's friend wonders after observing how she optimistically endures the harsh winter, grows, changes, and when spring arrives, emerges from her little house in the cherry and plum tree garden... Mandana Sadat, a prestigious illustrator of books like «Winter Afternoon», «Things with Feathers» and many others, shines once again with the visual display of this album that transports us to a suggestive, almost perfumed, oriental landscape. The poetic narrative, with the charming voice of the child who witnesses the metamorphosis of his little friend, seamlessly blends with the illustrations. Parents and teachers will thoroughly enjoy this book with their children. They can also take the opportunity to talk with the little ones about the cycle of life, waiting, time, and the changes they themselves will experience and joyfully accept.
