Cicada Appreciation
What a sweet and wonderful book. The rhythm of the text is so very pleasant to hear, and the words are so delicately chosen. The illustrations are textural watercolors. They are lively and colorful and a perfect complement to the fun text.

I was inspired to buy this book as a result of the recent emergence of the 17-yr cicadas where I live. After seeing them in my yard, and watching them hatch from their shells in their lovely brilliance, it is hard not to appreciate these critters as they follow their destiny.

This books celebrates the life cycle of the cicadas - and symbolically the cycle of life for every being. I highly recommend this book!!

Who knew a bug could be so ADORABLE?
I love this book and so do my two nieces (ages 5 and 6 & 3/4.) The adorable illustrations and the heartwarming story of Cecilia have transformed cicadas from a scary menace into an animal that you'd want to pal around with. It's sophisticated enough to be educational, but simple and clever enough to share with a child of any age.The fundamental lessons of the importance of patience and love really shine through. If you live in a place with cicadas, this book is a must, and if you don't, reading it may make you consider a move. I highly recommend this book for any child with a curiosity about the world.

Making Cicada's Fun

You'll fall in love with Cecily.A delightful,whimsical book.
A wonderful story of patience and hope, beautifully illustrated.It tells of Cecily's time underground, her joyousemergence aboveground, and her meeting with "Mr. Right". My favorite line is: "When you see a cicada please give her a smile, 'cause you may not see one again for a while". ... Read more
