Lianne Ong, the author, is a church friend of mine.
Ever since I knew her, she has been writing and I knew someday she would write a book and indeed she has....
And she has written a children's book with the lead character being her son, Reuben.
When they were in the U.S. , Reuben chanced upon a caterpillar and decided to bring it home to keep.
His mother, Lianne, has written the book to record the event.
In the book which I recommend for children and adults, there are a few themes being explored
1) For children to deal with the issue of disappointment and to let go.
2) For parents to journey along with their children and support them in their choices they made.
3) Respecting nature is important and we must teach children that.
4)The amazing transition of a caterpillar to a butterfly and their life cycle
