Description


My granddaughter found this grasshopper drowning in her sand pail filled with rainwater. She quickly dumped out the water, and we lifted the grasshopper to the deck. It began to revive after a few minutes at which point my granddaughter tried to feed it a small leaf. Seeing her quick thinking and compassion touched my heart and made me proud.

The story behind the beautiful picture was a joy to read. Jesus spoke so much about the children and how we can learn so much from them. You compliment the story with this gorgeous picture of the grasshopper being fed a leave by the pretty flower. You have such a right to be so proud of her, her compassion. #11632862
