Summary: A rhyming children's meditation on the four seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring, in which the grasshoppers dance to the rhythms and sounds of life around them as the world goes round. The animals in the story thrive on music: a bunny plays the drums, a hawk plays the organ, a husky plays a whistle, a kingfisher plays on conch shells, and the grasshoppers dance. (Publisher)

New Zealand Post Book Award Finalist 2014
The paperback edition of a picture book full of joyful colour and energy, about a timid girl who finds the courage to live life on her own terms, with the help of a travelling minstrel and his dancing cat. Milli could take a thing that was a nothing and turn it into a something. She could find any old forgotten this or that, give it a bit of a wiggle, and transform it into something amazing. But no one in her town valued what Milli could do, and she was far too shy to insist. No one ever wanted anything special. So Milli spent her time making brown shoes, black shoes and plain old work boots. But then comes the day two vagabonds roll into town - crazy Jack and his dancing cat. Sturdy new boots are exactly what they need, but what can they give Milli in exchange? Dancing lessons! So they teach her jazz and ballet and tap. They do the two-step, the three-step and the tricky-twisting-backward-slide-four-step. And Milli begins to feel brave and free. So she makes them the most beautiful shoes she can imagine. She rustles up a few amazing things for herself, too. And eventually even the townspeople have to take notice.
