Grasshopper goes on a journey

Grasshopper Goes on a Journey brings together six stories by prominent American author Arnold Lobel: The Club, A New House, The Sweeper, The Journey, Always and At Sunset. With each character that he meets on his long walk, he will live an adventure, an experience that goes beyond what it apparently shows. Because in this book, the substance is in the journey itself. The stories of Grasshopper, tireless walker and citizen of the world, trace profiles inherent to the human condition; they transmit the poetry that is hidden in everyday life. If for the children's audience each story is one more episode in the adventures of such a peculiar protagonist, with the difficulties he encounters on his journey, adults find in this work other enriching readings: among them, that happiness is in simple things, away from the issues that complicate our lives and prevent us from achieving our goals or enjoying everyday life.
