The Kindergarten Caterpillar

By Christina Boyer Thompson

The Kindergarten Caterpillar follows the heartwarming story of a five-year-old caterpillar embarking on their very first school year. Month by month, from October to May, the curious little caterpillar encounters helpful new friends throughout the classroom.

As the months roll on, the caterpillar learns about numbers, letter sounds, storybooks, and how to practice cooperation, sharing, and kindness with classmates. With every new lesson mastered, the little caterpillar grows bigger, brighter, and more confident. When spring arrives and the school year draws to a close, a wise night sky reminds the sleepy caterpillar of the power of rest after a job well done. Upon awakening, a delightful surprise awaits: the little caterpillar has transformed into a strong, capable first-grade butterfly

Written by educator Christina Thompson as both an engaging picture story and an adaptable graduation performance play, this sweet tale celebrates early childhood achievements, the joy of learning, and the excitement of taking the next big step in school.
