Children love colour - the stronger, the better, preferably big and bold. In this outsize book with inside flaps, Lois Ehlert's "Waiting for Wings" sublimates nature through art in her unmistakably powerful style, depicting in rhyme the metamorphosis of the lowly caterpillar to elegant butterfly. 

Concluding with both butterfly and flower identification pages for the more inquisitive reader, the inimitable author of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" has done it again. A lovely introduction to nature.
