Monica Campbell from Chadbourn North Carolina and now I live in Durham North Carolina for 28 years. I am the proud owner of Campbell's Christian Academy preschool owned and operated for 21 years and counting. I was inspired to write about Catie the Caterpillar because her struggle to come out the cocoon to become this beautiful monarch butterfly relates to my life God reminded me that I was in an incubator fighting for my life also my mother said the doctor's was not expecting me to live over night but with the miracle from God I fought to live and become the woman after His own heart. I also was inspired because of the children taught over the years and help shaped their lives in preparation for the next stage in life Kindergarten encouraging each child just like Catie went through the metamorphosis stage in the struggle to come out to be a butterfly they can go through their stages and become what God want them to be in Him and any professional they desire. To God all the Glory and honor is given in Jesus name Amen.

Catie the Caterpillar is a unique caterpillar who developed a shoe obession and aspires to become a shoe designer. This book is about not giving up and believing in yourself.

Catie the Caterpillar's simple, straightforward language and colorful illustrations realistically portray the scenario of child sexual abuse, integrating the lines typically used by perpetrators and the guilt feelings and withdrawal of the victim into a story that demonstrates the need to express rather than suppress feelings. Talking about abuse is only the first step to recovery, so Catie's story is followed by discussion questions to further facilitate the therapeutic process and bring to life God's real and constant love for us all. This book can be used as part of a curriculum on abuse for children.
