The Digger and the Butterfly is the story of a group of construction vehicles who are very busy, until Digger feed a caterpillar and said caterpillar crafts a cocoon on Digger, causing him to have to sit by and watch his coworkers while he waits for the cocoon to hatch. This book sneakily teaches us about mindfulness very successfully, as Digger begins to notice the world around him in a way he hadn’t before. The illustrations are as colorful and joyful as the subject matter. This is an easy purchase for any collection, trucks and mindfulness? Something for everyone.
