REVIEW

Title: Cocoon Author: Aura Parker Publisher: Scholastic Australia

AURA Parker’s Cocoon is a beautiful, heartwarming tale that will delight young readers.

It captures your imagination as you turn each joyfully illustrated page about patience and achieving your dreams.

This story follows the plan of Dawn and her friends. They dream to be moths and fly to the lights. They busy themselves by making their cocoons with every little detail, knitting, knotting and weaving.

Then comes the unexpected wait, will their patience be rewarded?

Day after day Dawn begins to feel lonely and disheartened by the absence of her wings.

Finally, her dreams turn into real life. She is able to spread her wings and fly to the lights with her friends.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially this part. It makes me feel relief that Dawn achieves her goal and makes me reflect on life cycles.
