About This Book

A sequence of gentle animal tales centers on a young katydid whose relentless night chant hides a mysterious Katy and whose pride alarms quieter companions concerned about predators. Encounters with a nighthawk, an owl, a firefly who uncovers the secret, a bat, frogs and other insects lead to discoveries, mistaken fears, gifts, and reconciliations. Small crises, including shyness, quarrels, changing weather, and the arrival of short-horned locusts, prompt cooperative plans, courageous acts, and kept promises, concluding with renewed friendships and a strengthened community bond.
