What is The caterpillar that roared? about?

Hugo is a small caterpillar with a very big dream: he wants to be a lion. His friends laugh when he practises roaring, but Hugo refuses to give up. When he persuades Ferdinand the fish that he really is a lion, his make-believe adventure takes an unexpected turn. Soon, Hugo’s mighty roar causes chaos among the animals. Can he prove that he is brave and special just as he is, without pretending to be someone else?
