"If I were a caterpillar, I'd sure like to be green!

I'd be the prettiest caterpillar you've ever seen!"

All profits from book sales go to Mission Projects with a special emphasis on Ghana, Africa for water wells.  Sherry J. Kubalsky has now published four books:  It’s OK to be Me!  The Square Wreath. The Perfectly Imperfect Christmas Tree and recently If I Were a Caterpillar. She is a retired Hospice Social worker and lives in Ankeny with her husband Dave. Dave is very involved with this mission also. 

Have you ever imagined you were a caterpillar? What color caterpillar would you like to be? Have fun and imagine along with ten children as they play in a park and dream about what color caterpillar they might be, if they got to choose.

If I Were a Caterpillar helps children learn about colors and use their imagination along the way! They each find joy in their own idea of what they could be. This colorful, fun, and simple book even includes a blank caterpillar so that your child can color it with whatever colors they'd like to be.
