The twelve parables in The Ascension of the Flying Purple Caterpillar and Other Spiritual Parables “came” to Lara De Ann mostly at 3 in the morning over many years. Each of them skillfully convey many of life’s important lessons:
– Be true to yourself
– You can find answers inside of yourself
– Each person has been given unique gifts that are meant to be shared with others
– Inner peace comes from letting go of negative judgments and expectations
Sometimes we want to learn things in an entertaining , quick way. These short parables are fun to read but are packed with different levels of insight. The Ascension of the Flying Purple Caterpillar and Other Spiritual Parables is a book for all ages. It is important that adults access their playful side and read something entertaining. Bringing back our sense of fun and play is part of what this book is about.
I invite you to welcome the part of yourself that is open to new experiences and wishes to read a book told in a certain way that has been almost lost to most adults. The intention of these parables is to help bring back those lost parts.
The last two parables of this book were put into another book by Lara De Ann called The Camphor Tree Stories, a collection of stories told from the point of view of a camphor tree.

All of these stories are so wonderful… My son goes to pick it out at bedtime to hear… They are all rich with wonder of the world and its happenings… and opens our own memory of true connection to it. Really recommend… just beautifully written, simple stories about all the beauty that surrounds us and the potential that is within us.
