    About this audiobook

    Three lonely riverside dwellers - a boy, a firefly, and a cricket - are all trying to make sense of unexpected changes in their world. Each has a secret dream, but each finds himself trapped. Becoming friends brings them happiness and solidarity, but more changes are in store. Each character stands up to his greatest fear, and, in doing so, finds his greatest strength.

      A sweet story with gorgeous illustrations, perfect for a read-aloud to elementary-aged children. Cricket, Firefly, Vole and Peter are well-rounded characters, all with problems to overcome, aided by strong friendships.
