Bookroo's summary

A young girl, with her grandfather's help, builds a sanctuary for a caterpillar, witnessing its transformation. As she grows older, the butterflies return each summer, a testament to her kindness. What secrets do these delicate creatures hold, and how will they continue to touch her life?

From the publisher

When a little girl rescues a caterpillar from a hungry jay, her grandfather helps her make a butterfly house to keep the larva safe. And when the girl grows old, the butterflies come back to return her kindness. Eve Bunting’s touching story and Greg Shed’s brilliantly-hued paintings brim with compassion and love.
