What is The ant and the grasshopper about?

All summer, Grasshopper fills the warm days with singing, dancing and fun. Nearby, Ant works tirelessly, gathering food and storing it away for the cold months ahead. Ant warns Grasshopper to prepare, but Grasshopper cannot imagine that sunny days will ever end. When winter arrives and the fields are bare, Grasshopper is hungry and has nowhere to turn. This lively retelling of Aesop’s classic fable explores the consequences of choices, and the balance between enjoying today and preparing for tomorrow.
