And when it's time to build cocoons, they hang theirs side by side. \"Happy metamorphosis,\" says an older, more knowledgeable butterfly. And it is a happy metamorphosis indeed--for when the two emerge from their cocoons, they can fly!

Fortunately some things never change--like true friends figuring out a way to be together, and happily flying into the sunset and sunrise.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDev Petty's (devpetty.com) picture books include \u003ci\u003eThe Bear Must Go On\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eI Don't Want to Be a Frog\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eClaymates\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eI Don't Want to Go to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThere's Nothing to Do\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI Don't Want to Be Big\u003c\/i\u003e.
