Description

Filled with hope, inspiration, and a powerful message of self-love, author Deedee Cummings invites children to pause, reflect, and imagine the possibilities for their future.

Today’s kids are growing up in a world that often measures their worth through screens, likes, and followers. Children are rarely encouraged to slow down, dream boldly, and truly believe that their goals are possible.

A Caterpillar Can Fly, Why Can’t I? gently challenges both of these realities.

Through engaging prompts, thoughtful reflections, and creative activities, this interactive journal encourages kids to turn inward, to discover their strengths, explore their dreams, and build the confidence to pursue them. Along the way, children learn the value of self-awareness, a skill that helps strengthen resilience, deepen relationships, and inspire motivation for the future.

Fun, thoughtful, and uplifting for kids of all backgrounds, this journal reminds readers that it’s never too early to begin believing in their dreams.

More than a workbook, it becomes a roadmap for growth, a celebration of imagination, and a time capsule of hopes and dreams created by tomorrow’s future leaders.

Because sometimes all it takes is one simple question to spark a lifetime of possibility: If a caterpillar can fly… why can’t I?

Author Deedee Cummings

Deedee Cummings is a professional dreamer. She is also an author, therapist, attorney, and mom from Louisville, Kentucky. Cummings founded Make A Way Media in 2014 after struggling to find books with characters who looked like her own children and an extreme lack of stories that reflected their life experiences. Books published by Make A Way focus on hope, diversity, social justice, and therapeutic skills for children and adults. Her work has been featured in HuffPost, Forbes, NPR, USA Today, Essence Magazine, Psych Central, well+Good, and The EveryGirl, among other media outlets. In 2021, she was appointed to the Kentucky Early Childhood Advisory Council by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and reappointed to a second term in 2025, acknowledging her decades-long service to the children and families of Kentucky. Cummings is also the founder of The Louisville Book Festival. She was inspired to work to highlight and celebrate a culture of reading in her community after working as an in-home therapist and visiting homes of children who had no books. Cummings believes literacy is a fundamental human right. Her work highlights inspiring messages that remind us all it is never too late to begin again.
