Farfallina is a caterpillar and Marcel is a gosling, and they're friends. One day Farfallina feels as if she should climb onto a branch and rest a while. Marcel waits for his friend to return. When Farfallina finally does reappear, she's become a butterfly. Meanwhile Marcel's plumage begins to change. Farfallina searches for her friend, but she sees only a beautiful goose gliding on the pond. This perfectly paced, quietly dramatic and beautifully illustrated story remains true to nature and to the nature of friendship. (Ages 4-8)
