"Can Caterpillars Fly?" is a story to help young readers understand the metamorphosis of a caterpillar, turning into a beautiful butterfly after spinning a cocoon. On a meaningful level, it makes us realize that we can become exactly what we wish to be, if we only have the patience to wait. This book helps children feel better and optimistic about the future, knowing that each one of them is special and will transform beautifully in their own time. This story is especially helpful to those who are undergoing a difficult phase of feeling unaccepted for who they are.

Dana Parsons hails from Westchester, New York and teaches first grade at Greenwich Catholic School. However, when working as a preschool teacher, Parsons noticed that there were not so many books that taught Science to preschoolers. Seeing this need for more books about science designed for pre-schoolers, she decided to write such books herself. Her Education professor at Manhattanville College encouraged and taught her to turn her ideas into actual stories that could be read in the classroom.

Readers who wish to be inspired by Peg's transformation can purchase "Can Caterpillars Fly?" at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
