'Those in search of a cosy, gently delivered philosophy will melt' Financial Times
The next book in internationally bestselling author Toon Tellegen's witty, philosophical series of animal fables about mental health, which started with The Hedgehog's Dilemma.
One day, a heavy, dull feeling fills the cricket's head. And it won't go away.
The other animals try to help. Would he like a party? Has he tried being cheerful? Nothing seems to work.
As springtime comes, and the forest begins to rustle with life, can the cricket find a way to heal?
