When Oscar the caterpillar emerges from his cocoon as a
stubby-winged, gray moth, his plans to fly to Mexico with
the other Monarch butterflies are dashed-or are they? With
the help of his friend Edna the bookworm, Oscar follows
his dream of joining the butterflies. Optimistic tone and
playful cartoon-like illustrations convey a serious, but
liberating message to young readers: follow your dreams,
do not give up, and love the you in you
