Binkle was so excited to go from caterpillar to butterfly, but when he metamorphoses, something is wrong with his wings.  Binkle hides and cries, until two other butterflies come by with big plans to help.


Could you make whole butterfly wings from spider silk? Probably not, but that’s not the point the book is actually making.  With love and ingenuity and work, there are ways for anyone to have a chance to “fly” The author’s child has a rare skin condition that makes every day a struggle and it is only with the help of a lot of love, help, and ingenuity that she and others like her are able to fly.
