The Adventures of Catarina: The Caterpillar

Being beautiful is all about feeling beautiful.

Little Catarina is a sweet caterpillar with one tiny little flaw: She has no reflection. She can’t help it. This is how she was born.

Being different comes with some difficulties. Although her classmates at CaterSchool call her names sometimes and make her feel like she doesn’t fit in, no one finds her missing reflection a bigger problem than Catarina herself.

She just wishes she could see what she really looks like, what her family and friends see when they look at her…

But what if she isn’t beautiful? What if her reflection is disappointing? How will she ever show her face again in the Butterfly Kingdom?

Join Catarina as she goes on a journey of self-doubt, kindness, and self-discovery and finds out what really makes her beautiful: her big, tender heart.

Miranda threatened to send Auto, a Siamese cat, away after she wrongly accused him of stealing food at night. He needed assistance because he couldn’t possibly look into the situation on his own.

Who will help him? He made the decision to approach his foes, the rats, for assistance in clearing his name because he had no idea who had stolen the food. When she threatened to give him away, Miranda meant it seriously. Auto is running out of time because food has been stolen three days in a row and the thief left the kitchen floor dirty.
