What can we learn about God and life from nature? In this classic book, Margaret Gatty uses lessons from nature to teach timeless principles about things such as faith, leadership, and eternity. Each chapter contains its own independent story. In one story, when a caterpillar is asked to take care of the eggs of a dying butterfly, the caterpillar feels unfit for the task because of the magnificence of the grand butterfly. A lark tells the caterpillar that she must have faith. When the eggs of the butterfly hatch, and the shocked caterpillar realizes that the butterfly’s eggs are caterpillars like she is, she learns the lesson of faith—that she must believe something will happen even though she hasn’t seen it yet. When the time of metamorphosis comes for the caterpillar, and none of her relatives believe that she will become a butterfly, she says with confidence and joy—“I shall be a Butterfly some day!â€
