The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Our week one task @ Evolve was to recreate a childhood memory and present it in storyboard format. Here's my childhood memory and submission -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I come from a refugee background - my parents escaped from Vietnam and came to Australia in the late 70s to create a better life. We didn't have much... but then again we didn't need much... my parents were just happy to feel safe, to life in a free society, to be able to access opportunites that didn't exist in their homeland.

All my toys were hand-me downs, donated to us by the generous people from St Vincent De Paul... and we borrowed books from the library as my parents couldn't afford to buy them. I remember my first favourite book being "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"... It was and still is a childhood classic in my eyes... I loved reading it over and over and I remember being sad at having to return the book to the library so other children could read it...

This was one the first books I wanted to buy my daughter... and we were lucky enough that our best friends bought it for her first Christmas. My daughter turns two next month and already we have read it so many times and I can see us reading it so many more times in the years to come... I just adore reading it to her and it brings back such wonderful memories for me.
