Mimi's Tale Susan Raffensberger

Looking into a mirror is hard to do. . .especially if you are an ugly caterpillar. So thinks Mimi, a lonely caterpillar who wants nothing more than to be treated fairly. Mimi lives in a vast meadow filled with enemies-bully caterpillars, hungry birds, threatening animals-and finds herself alone and afraid, hiding from the outside world. One day a beautiful and friendly butterfly tells Mimi that there is a better place to live nearby, within the walls of a kindly man's garden. But will Mimi make it there? And will she learn to accept who she is and who she can become? This brightly illustrated text is the perfect tool for parents who believe in the power of self-esteem. Mimi's Tale is an intriguing story that teaches children and adults essential life lessons about self-acceptance, courage, and faith.
