This stunningly illustrated picture book is an enchanting gift that will sweep kids away this holiday season. A curious caterpillar searches for the true meaning of the word "beautiful." But is there one true meaning-or many? "[Castrillon's] wild drawings carry a decorative impulse to unexpected heights."-New York Times A caterpillar lives a simple life on his leaf until one day, an UnKnown Thing picks him up and calls him beautiful. A question forms in the caterpillar's mind: "What is beautiful?" So begins a quest to discover the true meaning of the word beautiful. Much to the caterpillar's surprise, each animal in the forest has their own unique definition: A bear declares that honeycomb is beautiful! The squirrels say leaves are beautiful! A mole says his burrow is beautiful! What's a caterpillar to do? How Beautiful offers kids an immersive, memorable experience. Elaborate and vivid illustrations by Melissa Castrillon, author of Yellow Kayak and If I Had a Little Dream, combine with a sweet, central message: Beauty is as diverse as we are.

Explore the wild and wonderful world of animal senses with a dynamic work of children's nonfiction. Humans experience the world through sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
