The Cricket's Healing
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?
The Cricket's Healing explores this journey of finding solace and healing.
