This is an adorable children's book meant for a level 2 reader. However, my 3 year old loves to have this book read to her. In this story Hermie continues to tell God that he feels like a common caterpillar. God tells him and his caterpillar friend Wormie: "Don't worry. I love you both just the way you are, but I'm not finished with you yet."
This book has bright illustrations and kept the attention of my daughter when I read it to her. And, then she sat down in her reading corner and attempted to retell the story. This book is a good reminder for everyone that God is continually shaping and molding us. I also liked that Hermie talked to God as a friend. Not only does the story illustrate that God isn't finished with Hermie yet, but also that there is a relationship between Hermie and God.
And, many times as a parent I feel I fail to show my daughter that I have a relationship with God beyond praying for meals and bedtime. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, which I'm really good at, but I do feel that books like these help begin the discussion about having a relationship with God.
