Hermie, A Common Caterpillar


Hermie, A Common Caterpillar earns 5 stars!  Author Max Lucado presents one of life's greatest lessons in a very simple, easy to understand, delightful way.  All children at some time may compare themselves unfavorably with their companions.  Lucado uses a wonderful example from the animal world to explain how each one is special in God's eyes, and how He is never finished with us.

Relatable characters Hermie and Wormie encounter a cast of endearing friends who help to illuminate Lucado's message of each individual's uniqueness.  The colorful illustrations add to the appeal of this book that I highly recommend to parents and grandparents alike.  What a gem of a story to share with our children or grandchildren!  My granddaughter asked me to read Hermie repeatedly, so we will be looking forward to the expansion of this series for the younger audience.

Printed in China.

I received this book from publisher Tommy Nelson Publishers so that I might give my honest review.  The opinions expressed here are my own, as I am not required to write a positive review.
