Telling the truth is always the best, a lesson parents are eager to teach young ones. Welcome, Flo, the Lyin' Fly, to Hermie's delightful world. Like the little boy who cried "wolf," Flo thinks it's fun to tell stories that are not true. When her friends discover they can't trust her, they refuse to believe her when there's real trouble. Drawing from Proverbs 19:5, which says no one gets away with a lie, Flo the Lyin' Fly sets out to teach children, through incredibly humorous situations the importance of telling the truth no matter what the circumstance.

When Hermie doesn't listen to God, he ends up in big trouble--he gets swallowed by a frog. But when he prays to God and promises to obey, the frog spits him out. Hermie's story is like Jonah's story in the Bible: Jonah 1-3. Full color.

I'm king of the bees, and I'll do as I please Buzby, the Misbehaving Bee, proclaims as he zooms around the garden with no regard for The Garden Golden Rules.

The garden is flooding. Everyone's home is in danger! And all because Hermie wanted his favorite snack. Now, only the truth can save his friends' homes and the garden. Will Hermie be responsible enough to tell the truth?

Watch out Hermie may be just another caterpillar, but his wormy style will win your heart. An adorable new character from renowned, best selling author and pastor Max Lucado, Hermie (and his best friend, Wormie) wonder why God-their close friend and Creator-chose to make them so common. After all, every other creature they encounter boasts something bold or beautiful that makes them unique. But Hermie and Wormie wriggle under the weight of comparison-coming up short every time. But then comes the miracle. With an amazing transformation, they both learn the truth behind God's impeccable timing. And purpose. And love. It's a story that on a simple level will leave your kids spell-bound. But the biblical truths of trusting in God's timing will deepen their own understanding of identity and the joy of embracing God's incredible design in them.
