Max Lucados’ books are always uplifting and this one is no different – with a special message for each one of us. “Hermie & Friends: Hermie, a Common Caterpillar” is a children’s book in a new, easy to read format. The story is engaging, with colorful illustrations.
For those who have read or seen any of the DVDs in the series, you will remember that Hermie is a plain, common, green caterpillar. As he goes through his days, he sees other special gifts each of his friends seem to have, all that is except for him and his caterpillar friend, Wormie. At night before bed, he asks God, “Why did you make us so common?” To which God lovingly replies “Don’t worry. I love you just the way you are and I’m not finished with you yet.” I don’t want to steal the end of the story here, but suffice it to say, in time he sees the wonderful plan God has for them both!
This is a great inspirational book and wonderful way to help explain to little ones the beautiful truth that God loves each one of us just the way we are and that He's always working in our lives. And in most cases He’s not finished with us yet! He has begun a good work in us and He will finish it. It was a great reminder for me, and I can’t wait to share it with the little ones in my family.
