From acclaimed author Muon Thi Van comes an innovative exploration of a butterfly's life cycle --- in reverse. “If you want to be a butterfly, then arise, unfurl and welcome the waiting world,” the narrator of this playful book begins. Readers will flit from flower to flower with an adorable butterfly ... hold on tight with a chrysalis through all sorts of weather ... munch away with a greedy little caterpillar ... sit very, very still and dream big with a teeny tiny egg. It's a magical journey back in time, ending up ... at the beginning! 

The book ends with a full description with illustrations of the butterfly's life cycle that highlights the important role butterflies play in ecosystems.
