The lessons taught by the word bug enable the inhabitants of the alphabet tree to stand together and say important things - Baker & Taylor
A strong wind blows most of the letters off the alphabet tree and those that remain hide among the branches. Then a bug and a caterpillar come along and teach them how to arrange themselves into words and sentences to form a special message. - Baker & Taylor
A Wordbug and a little purple caterpillar show the letters on an alphabet tree how to form words and sentences to create a powerful message of peace. - Random House, Inc.
From beloved Caldecott winning picture book creator Leo Lionni, this fable is about sticking together and sending a message of peace to those in charge.
When a fierce wind threatens to blow all the little letters out of the alphabet tree, they must band together in wordsâand then sentencesâto create a message thatâs even stronger than the wind: peace on earth. With their newfound knowledge, there's nothing the letters can't do in this gentle parable about the power of the written word.
