The cicada's big day is coming. Everyone is preparing for the big party. The baby caterpillars and bees are preparing refreshments, the old rhinoceros is working out his muscles, the crickets are practicing violin melodies, the fireflies are planning the choreography of a celestial dance... What can a little cicada boy expect when he leaves his home? A lovely picture book full of playful details, where everything runs smoothly, invites repeated viewing. The book ingeniously uses familiar clichés of the insect world and presents a story about a rite of passage, the motif of the transformation from larva to adult is an excuse to organize a party of human proportions. Noriko Kudo is also the author of the extremely popular book series about a gang of eight cats, Noraneko gundan, which has already sold over 3 million copies.
