This is the story of a little cricket who is growing and learning to know his environment. The big cricket, a locust, a praying mantis, a worm, a spittlebug, a cicada, a bumblebee, a dragonfly, the mosquitoes, and a luna moth greet him with their own unique sounds and movements. The little cricket is curious to resound their greetings and tries to rub his wings together, but no sound comes out. Finally one day he is not a little cricket anymore. He is a big cricket who is able to make the chirping sound by rubbing his wings together. Children go through various developmental milestones in their early childhood years. This endearing book makes it a pleasant read to lift their spirits up and to believe in their own selves.
