This children's book is a Level 2 Reader book. It has easy words and sentences for the beginning reader. I reviewed the Kindle format of the book. Although the pictures are not in color on the Kindle, they are still very detailed and cute.
Hermie is not only a caterpillar, but he feels he is a fairly plain caterpillar. Hermie has a friend, Wormie, who looks like him and interacts with him in the story. In the story they meet a butterfly, an ant, a snail, and a lady bug of which Hermie & Wormie feel they all have things that make them special and wish they had those qualities, too.
Hermie and Wormie have a common friendship not only because they look alike but also because they both talk to God. God tells them each time they question him about why they are common that he is not finished with them yet.
Hermie gets tired, goes to sleep and wakes up a butterfly. He encourages, Wormie who hasn't changed yet, that God is not finished with him either. The book ends with Wormie getting tired and going to sleep, which makes for a great bedtime story.
This book would be a good discussion point for parents to talk about changes that God is doing in their child as she is growing, to discuss how everyone has special abilities and aren't really "common," and to discuss dreams their child has for when she is "all grown up."
