In a California garden on a rainy night, Cricket feels small and worthless.He hops up some steps and finds himself in a place filled with light and warmth and a tall, sparkling tree.He begins to sing but is scared into silence by two voices, one big and one small.It is then that he makes a marvelous discovery. Eve Bunting's text is filled with her customary tenderness and charm, and Timothy Bush has captured its mood in his luminous illustrations.Together they create a memorable holiday book about a cricket who discovers that though he may be small, he is not insignificant.
