A tender story helping young children embrace diversity through determination. A young caterpillar grows up in a family of grasshoppers and struggles to fit in. Join him and his brother as they support one another in becoming something bigger than either of them ever imagined!

Once every year, around the end of May, grasshoppers come together for a very special day. This is the day young grasshoppers are put to the test to see just whose leg poppers have turned out the best! They will high jump and long jump as part of the outdoor fun. They will leapfrog and jump rope until the setting of the sun. This was also the day Gary had been dreading all week. He did not know why, but his legs always seemed unique. You see… Gary was found as a baby by two grasshoppers late one night. They agreed to love and raise him under the moon and stars bright light. They knew that Gary was special,so his dad promised he would stop her if his mother tried to tell him he was not a true grasshopper.
