Age range 5 to 9Kids will get lost in the visually stunning, imaginative world of this wordless picture book!In this colourful and moving portrait told from the up-close perspectives of a young girl and a grasshopper, a garden comes alive creatures, plants, and surprises of nature. While investigating and admiring the insects in her garden, the girl discovers how her actions impact the little creatures: she finds a caterpillar inside a pea pod. She places the caterpillar on an anthill, and the ants swarm it!When she captures a grasshopper, she discovers one of its legs has fallen off. To keep it safe from the ants, she places it in a jar - only for another curious creature to come investigate. As the day progresses, the girl learns the profound effect she can have on the natural world around her. Grasshopper reveals to readers a remarkable perspective on the natural world - and the importance of respecting the creatures who call it their home.
"Nature' s miniature whimsies bloom in Ukhova' s wordless picture-book debut . . . Marvelously astute. "-Kirkus Reviews"Ukhova works in broad painted lines, bathing everything in vibrant color and capturing the protagonist' s quickly changing emotions. . . Ukhova' s child acts out of believable curiosity and impulse, and is observed as closely by readers as the insects. "-Publishers Weekly"A good way to start a discussion on how even small choices can have consequences that impact the environment. "-School Library Connections
TATIANA UKHOVA has a degree in finance, but her desire to be an artist has led her to study drawing, color theory, and illustration over the last ten years. She was born in Moscow and still lives there. This is her first book.
