Isabella caterpillars and moths are common sights throughout most of North America, especially in their "Wooly Bear caterpillar" stage. Children love finding the colorful black and orange banded critters. Folklorists report that people actually tried to predict the severity of winters by the width of the bands. Isabella is the story of one tiny, frightened fuzzy caterpillar and her journey from egg to metamorphosis as a pretty Isabella moth. At first the world is a fearful place and Isabella is confused until she meets Squirrel, who becomes her friend and helps direct her journey of self-discovery. Children will be intrigued to discover that Isabella does not become a butterfly but emerges a moth, flittering about in the moonlight.
