How Beautiful
?[Castrillón?s] wild drawings carry a decorative impulse to unexpected heights.??New York Times
A stunningly illustrated picture book about a curious caterpillar searching for the true meaning of the word ?beautiful.? But is there one true meaning?or many?
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 Castrillón, author of Yellow Kayak and If I Had a Little Dream, combine with a sweet, central message:
- Beauty is as diverse as we are.
- ?Beautiful? means something different to everyone, and that?s okay!
- The beauty of the natural world is worth celebrating!
