Bookroo's summary
Harper the grasshopper faces winter unprepared, unlike the diligent ants. Rescued by Lark, an ant eager to learn the fiddle, Harper's music soon captivates the field's insects. As an insect orchestra forms, Harper's tale unfolds, questioning the balance between work and play. Will music and friendship be enough to see them through the cold months? Discover a fresh perspective on a timeless fable.
From the publisher
In this humorous retelling of the classic fable, Harper the grasshopper is rescued from starvation by an ant, Lark, who wants to learn how to play the fiddle–and soon many of the other insects (including more ants) in the field join Harper’s lessons, until he has a proper insect orchestra to put on a harvest festival.
