Have you ever seen a fuzzy caterpillar (called a woolly bear) and wondered what butterfly or moth it will become? One type, called a banded woolly bear, transforms into a tiger moth.

Here’s a fun drawing activity of a tiger moth. See if you can draw its grown-up form in 10 easy steps. ✏️

The woolly bear caterpillar is on the move, a sure sign that autumn is here 🍂🐛.

American folklore says the banded woolly bear can predict the winter ahead. The wider its rusty-brown band, the milder the winter. Or, the more black, the harsher the winter.

So what are the woolly bears predicting in your neighborhood this year? 👀

Twiggy and the Lost Socks was inspired by a real backyard discovery and follows one curious little squirrel on a fall adventure filled with friendship, kindness, and sharing.

Thank you to all who downloaded, shared, and supported the new edition of Twiggy and the Lost Socks over the past few days.

It's been an exciting first week seeing Twiggy reach #1 in Children's Mice & Small Animal Stories and the top 5 in Children's Friendship Books.

If you've had a chance to read the book, I would be incredibly grateful if you would leave a review on Amazon. Reviews help other families discover the story and would mean a great deal to me.

If you reviewed the original version, thank you. Since this revised edition has its own Amazon review page, reviews from the original 2023 edition did not transfer over. If you've read the new edition, I would be grateful if you would consider leaving a review.

Thank you again for all of your support. ❤️
