A Cricket at the Bowl

In this inspirational and beautifully illustrated book aimed at ages 4-10, Wolfgang is a young cricket who lives with his parents at the famous Hollywood Bowl in California. Wolfgang is different from all the other cricket kids. He was born with wings so long that he can’t rub them together to make the cricket song. His parents worry, and Wolfgang is sad and shy…right up until the life-changing moment he hears a talented violinist playing beautiful music onstage at the Bowl. Instinctively Wolfgang folds one of his long wings over his shoulder, and by drawing his arm across it, is able to reproduce the violin’s amazing sounds. Right before the concert, the violinist has an accident and can’t perform. Wolfgang reveals his unique talent to the orchestra conductor, and is recruited to play that evening. His performance is breathtaking, his greatness undeniable. He will never be silent again. Read more
