Westly: A Spiders Tale by Bryan Beus
This is tale of a caterpillar named Westly who is destined to be a Monarch butterfly and the next king of the butterfly kingdom. But sometimes things don’t turn out the way we plan. When Westly emerges from his cocoon he is nothing like he expected. As a spider he must rediscover who he is. Adopted by the “dirt eaters,” Westly is determined to make a difference. He is determined to belong, to be loved, and most importantly, to become who he was born to be.
My Review
What a great book with a meaningful message. I loved this sweet story. An exceptional book for kids to start a dialog on being different and not judging the differences in all of us. The pictures were well done and fit the story perfectly.
I received a PDF copy in exchange for an honest review.
