This book “Lady Flatterley” is a caterpillar that became afraid and would hide up in a tall oak tree. Lady Flatterley's dream was to be able to have wings and fly someday. It wasn’t until another butterfly came along and told her that he once was a caterpillar just like her.
He explained to Lady Flatterley that before he could become a butterfly, he had to build himself a cocoon.
This story takes you through that metaphoric transformation and talks about how Lady Flatterley once being a caterpillar, built herself a cocoon.
After breaking her coccon, she discovered now she had become what she always wanted to be, a beautiful butterfly flying in the sky.
She didn't know that this was a part of God’s great plan in creation all along and she thanks God for His creation of her she most surely did love.
So little one, follow your dreams

I would not feel afraid or need to hide."
Then the butterfly flew to Flatterley's house;
He landed on the limb, as quiet as a mouse.
"How do you do?" said the butterfly to Flatterley.
