With beautiful colors and large, easy-to-read words, LADY FLATTERLEY is a sweet Christian children's story.

Lady Flatterley is a caterpillar all alone high on a tree limb. She desires nothing more than to become a beautiful butterfly. She has no idea what her future holds for her. It isn't until a fellow butterfly perches on her branch for a rest that she learns that one day she, too, really will turn into a butterfly.

Lady Flatterley wants to build her cocoon as soon as she learns what her future will be. As the winter comes, she spins her cocoon to wait out the cold weather.

In the spring, as everything awakens, she struggles to break free of her casing. Fellow creatures want to help her, but they all know that Lady Flatterley must learn to survive on her own.

As she frees herself from her winter home, she is thrilled to be able to fly. She travels around and admires herself in a passing window. As she flies off, she thanks God for making her wishes come true.

The author wants children to know that fear can prevent us from reaching for our dreams. Lady Flatterley is afraid of change, but she wants more than anything to be a beautiful butterfly and accepts the fact that things must change for it to happen. Thanking God in the end, Lady Flatterley flies away, pleased with her future.
