A city boy travels to a village and hears the whistling of a cicada insect for the first time. His mother tells him that there are night cicadas and day cicadas. He wants to know the difference between them. He gets his answer when he hears the same cicada whistling, but this time in the city and the cicada is not an insect but a poor, orphan boy. This book, beautifully written by the renowned Syrian author, and artfully illustrated, is a treat to those that enjoy the natural life, and learn from the many lessons nature can provide if we listen.
