Full video episodes,  a new curriculum, and many free resources for families, small groups and churches are now available on http://www.tommynelson.com/hermie/.

The series stars Hermie the common caterpillar and teaches children biblical lessons that strengthen their faith and help them understand that God loves you just the way you are but He isn’t finished with you yet.

“Looks like Hermie is on the move,” said Lucado. “Turns out, our little caterpillar friend didn’t want to be left behind in this digital age! This new digital home is a fun place for children to learn important biblical lessons and for families to access videos and other resources easily. I’m grateful to our team for making this technology available.”
