A Story of Amazement
On a summer day in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic social distancing, mask wearing and sheltering-in-place, this story was created from the imagination of April’s seven-year-old grandson.
Through this story, three children witnessed the natural life cycle and survival of a caterpillar that adapted to a strange and new environment.
Look at nature through the curious eyes of a child
Respect nature and it’s course of life on earth
Be in awe of nature's existence on earth
Take time to be in the present and witness the wonder of nature by going on hikes
We all change with time.
Our cells are constantly reproducing or dying
Change is inevitable
Witnessing the life cycle of a butterfly is truly a wonderous gift for children
We can all learn from this miraculous transformation
We can accomplish so much when we work together and make it a group effort
Make teamwork fun and exploratory
Organize a group of friends to do something for others
Volunteer at your favorite charity organization
Writing this story was a fun and inspiring experience. It was the perfect project for me because it has motivated me to write more children’s stories. I’ll never run out of stories to write because my grandchildren are an endless source of creative ideas.
