This is a story explaining the destructive dance between bugs and food. It has silver linings on gray clouds and retells the ancient story of patiently waiting for butterflies when life gives you caterpillars. It is an interactive book meant not just for reading but for discussing and acting. Stop-and-think questions are marked in bold font. Appendices at the end contain crafts, snacks, and butterfly facts. There is a short biography on Henry Walter Bates, a famous scientist from whom the main character of this story is named.
