In the wee hours of the morning, a pregnant woman samples and snacks her way through the pantry. When she ultimately goes into labour, the birth of her baby and the discovery of her new identity mirror the transformation of Eric Carle's hungry caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. Both a send-up and a celebration of this strange, ridiculous, and exciting time.
