"Kelly has captured in this story the classic truth that there is beauty in us all. The tale is well-matched with adorable illustrations that will actually have kids wanting to hug a caterpillar." 

~Wave Walton, children’s book author of The Wuffle

"...A wonderfully told story about a caterpillar and his quest for friends. It's a great way for children to learn about differences and the world around them.    The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree  includes fabulous illustrations by Lynn Lorbeske that enhance the sweet story in a simple, yet pleasing manner.  Ms. Moran has truly outdone herself with this gem of a children's book, and I look forward to adding The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree to my grandchildren's library!" ~Poetic Monthly Magazine  

“The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree  is a delightful tale that teaches the young ones about people being different and how we judge them at our very first impression.  It teaches children that being different is okay. I recommend this story to anyone with children. The adults that read this to their children will be teaching them a very valuable lesson and the pictures will amuse even the youngest of children. The adults may learn a bit of a lesson here as well."

"The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree is sure to impress parents and children of all ages.  With its colourful illustrations done by Lynn Lorbeske, The Tiny Caterpillar learns about acceptance, forgiveness and adventure while realizing that change and differences are nothing to cower from.” 

~Sarah Butland, children’s book author of Sending You Sammy.

"Children’s stories use insects, animals and other objects to talk about important issues. We are all different. We come in different shapes, sizes and colors. We have different levels of strength, intelligence and beauty. Different doesn’t mean bad. Yet, we struggle everyday to be more accepting of the differences we all share. This book attempts to relate to children that just because you can’t see something about a person it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. The illustrations in the book are very sweet and the tiny caterpillar is quickly adored by the reader. As we meet the other players in the story we are able to see exactly what the author was trying to portray. We even understand the welcoming and tender nature of the great big tree as we see an image of the branches enveloping the tiny caterpillar."
