Sarah Tagholm: Where are my massive flying wings?

About

Schools Event - Meet Author Sarah Tagholm
Part of Tiverton Book Festival 2026: Children's Edition.

This little caterpillar cant wait to become a butterfly, swoop-a-looping with massive flying wings. But there is TOO MUCH WAITING. First you have to eat LOTS of leaves. Then you have to make a cocoon...and wait some MORE before you can grow wings and fly! But what happens if you come out of your cocoon to find that you're not a butterfly after all? Could there be another destiny in wait?

This hilarious, heartwarming book is a celebration of accepting your true identity and growing into yourself perfect for little ones interested in butterflies, moths and the natural world! Children will listen to the story and take part in a draw-a-long with Sarah, then get the chance to ask questions and get their books signed.

Mischievous children, nature, and all things bizarre are the inspiration behind Sarah Tagholm's stories, which tend to be odd, ridiculous or, more often than not, both! Sarah lives in Cornwall with her family, two cats and a fourteen year-old albino toad called Cuckoo (in real life). If not reading or writing, she can usually be found in, or on or under the sea.
