A story of courage, which, although written for children, contains a timeless message for any age about how our thoughts affect us and influence the way we experience life.

Georgie Grasshopper and Nibby Gnat, being very small insects, live under the continual threat of being eaten by predators. Though Georgie and Nibby are the best of friends, their ways of staying safe in the world are very different: fear stops Georgie from ever taking a risk; whereas, Nibby avoids danger by keeping his wits about him. Georgie would like to be as brave as Nibby but he doesn't know how, until Nibby has a bright idea. Then a new friend, Tilly Tadpole, causes them to have an adventure that changes their lives in more ways than they could have imagined, and Georgie, who begins the day as a timid and frightened grasshopper, finds himself a hero by the end of it.
