In this wordless picture book, we follow a girl's time in her garden up close. A plane flies high in the sky. She eats an apple. The ants eat her apple core. She finds a caterpillar inside a pea pod. And when she places the caterpillar on the anthill, she observes that her actions have consequences. She captures a grasshopper, but in the process, one of its legs comes off. In order to protect it from the ants, she places it in a jar. As the day progresses, we see nature in an utterly unsentimental light from both the grasshopper's and the girl's points of view. And the girl comes to understand that wild creatures need to be free from human intervention.

A moving, wonderful, and beautifully illustrated story about the very real world of the garden and how best to live within it.

In 2018, Grasshopper won the Grand Prix of the Kniga Vnutri (Book Inside) competition and was selected twice by dPICTUS curators—for the 100 Outstanding Picturebooks exhibition in Frankfurt in 2019 and Bologna 2020.
