Résumé
Sandy knows what she looks like: a worm with short fuzzy hair that sticks out in all directions, tiny eyes, stubby antennas, and way down at the end of her sixteen legs--a caboose. How could she look so different from… her mother? MaMa has beautiful wings that flash orange and velvet black. Each has tiny white polka dots. She is a beautiful butterfly. Sandy grows even more confused when MaMa tells her about upcoming changes. With growing concern Sandy waddles off to think and do what she does best--eat. As she nibbles on a milkweed leaf she thinks about MaMa's words. Sandy gets dizzy with all the thinking. Are these changes what MaMa went through? Is that why MaMa knows the answers to Sandy's questions? MaMa, Why am I a Worm?" helps Sandy understand that life is about changing, growing, and becoming the best you can be. "
