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.

Hermie the caterpillar and his garden friends are reminded that God always listens and always helps His children. Full color.

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.

Hermie doesn't have stripes. He doesn't have spots. In fact, he doesn't have anything special like everyone else. But together with his friend, Wormie, they talk to God about their troubles. Why do they have to be so plain? Will they ever be special? Master storyteller Max Lucado conveys deep truths of God's love - how he makes each one unique - with simple, straightforward style that even the youngest child can understand. With vivid and heart-warming illustrations, it's the perfect way to engage young minds with a spellbinding story and the message of God's special purpose for each of His children.

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.

Anthony the Ant challenges the other caterpillars to a contest to move a big rock, but even working together they can't budge it. But with God's help Anthony has no trouble moving the rock. Full color.
