A gentle and beautiful new picture-book offering by well-loved Australian creator Anna Walker.

Portrayed in stunning illustrations and sparse words, this picture book tells the tale of a meeting and developing friendship between a cabbage moth and a cricket. The gorgeous illustrations are thoroughly enthralling, rendered in spot colours that move along with poetic words. The stunning combination of watercolour, pencil and collage for which Walker is known creates an almost spray-paint effect that is subtle and gentle.

This is a beautiful book to share with any child in a quiet time before bed, inviting an understanding of connection, friendship and empathy. It would be a well-loved addition to any little library, in the style of a bestseller like Baby Bedtime by Mem Fox. It is perfect for ages 3+.
