Dance of the Love Caterpillars is a romantic tale of two Monarch butterflies that serendipitously meet and fall in love. While sharing a love flower for lunch, they journey through and experience vulnerability, hope, and comfort that emerge from their relationship. Savoring the ephemeral present moment and trusting life, as their daring transformation fast approaches, they decide and learn how to make the most out of their time together.

Being in love is wonderful, mysterious, exciting, and a little bit terrifying. To fall head-over-heels for somebody is an experience not quite like any other. Love burns like wildfire, a passion indescribable. Compared to their love, the world pales and fades away in comparison, for they only have eyes for each other. More so than a physical connection, love is expressed just as much through emotion. A bond between two people, who truly love one another is not easily severed. A force both powerful and passionately intense.
