Nattie's Daddy Ms Lori Lovelady

When Nat, the cute little caterpillar, thinks it's the end of his life, he realizes that it's really just the beginning. The urgency for this poignant narrative was conceived from the author's true life tragedy. When her adult son, Nathanael, was suddenly killed in a car accident, it not only left her young granddaughter, Nattie, without her daddy, but without an important answer to Nattie's persistent question, "Where is my daddy"? This gentle story is from the little caterpillar's perspective. From having lunch with his adoring Nana one day, to attending her cocoon memorial the next, Nat asked the same question, "Where is my Nana"? Comforting everyone from toddlers to grandparents, "Nattie's Daddy" unburdens the heart with an optimistic impression to the normalcy of life's design and the security in knowing that we too will shed our own cocoon one day for butterfly wings.
