Abstract

This creative project includes the rewriting of Eric Carle's picture-book "The Very Hungry Catepillar". The original tells the story of a very hungry catepillar and its quest to find food to eat. The catepillar succesfully finds food and, upon growing and forming a coocoon, transforms into a beautiful butterfly. My rewriting of "The Very Hungry Catepillar" takes this story to a completely different level, developing awareness in youth about climate change and the need to take action to save the planet and its inhabitants. In my story, the same catepillar has the same quest of finding food, but however finds none, as the earth has now become overpopulated with waste and trash. Since the catepillar has nothing to eat, he cannot turn into a beautiful butterfly.
