On a broad green leaf sit ten rather gorgeous (though they do say so themselves) caterpillars. And all they can talk about is what beautiful butterflies they are going to be! But not Frank. Frank is a very plain caterpillar, but he's fine with that. There's so much beauty to see all around him, and so many interesting insects to say good morning to. When the butterflies hatch, they are not happy. Not one of them looks quite as fabulous as they thought they would. Except for Frank . . .

A funny and inspiring picture book from Alex Latimer, author of the award-winning Godfrey is a Frog, which explores the beauty of being content with what you have.
