"Small caterpillars are nature's surprise. / When God waves his hand they become butterflies." This pastoral alphabet book connects the renewal of spring with Christian lessons about God. The rhyming text is bland, but the cheerful illustrations featuring children of different ethnicities tapping sugar maples for sap and baking hot-cross buns may fill a gap in libraries in need of religious material.
