Overview

Hermie learns the importance of offering forgiveness and discovers how incredible God’s grace really is. 

There is a lot of excitement in the garden as all the bugs prepare for the harvest festival. Hermie has promised to help Wormie but then forgets. Luckily, Wormie is quick to forgive Hermie. But later when Hermie is the one who is disappointed, will he be able to forgive too? God gently reminds Hermie that God continues to forgive us when we make mistakes, and it’s important that we do the same for others. 

The third title in the Hermie & Friends® Level 2 Reader series, this book is perfect for beginning readers who need to build their confidence and still enjoy fun illustrations. Plus, parents are pleased to know that the story reflects the concepts taught in Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18) and teaches young readers about God’s grace and forgiving others.

CHAPTER 1

Hermie ran as fast as his eight legs would go. He jumped high into a pile of freshly fallen leaves.

"Fall! My favorite time of year!" he said to himself as he tossed the leaves in the air. "I love the fall! I think I will make up a song about it."

The caterpillar wriggled through the leaves and sang,

Fall, fall, my favorite time.
Cool, fresh air so fine.
Oh, I love harvest days
And piles of new-cut hay.
Winds that nip
Make me skip.
Leaves that drop
Make me smile a lot.
Da da, doo dee doo, hmmm, hmmm ...


Hermie was proud of his autumn song. "I should sing my song at the Harvest Festival. I could ... oh no ..." He froze in midsentence. "I promised Wormie I would help him paint the banner today! Oh my, I am really late. I hope Wormie isn't mad."

Hermie quickly scurried to Wormie's house. He got there just in time to see Wormie cleaning up the paintbrushes.

"Wormie, I am very sorry. I started playing in the leaves, and then I made up a song about fall and ..."

Wormie smiled at his buddy. "Hermie, it's okay. We all make mistakes. Friends always forgive each other. And Lucy helped me paint the banner."

Hermie smiled back at Wormie. "Thanks for understanding. Want to hear my fall song?"

Wormie nodded. "Sure! You can sing it for me while we carry the banner to the park."

The two friends carried the folded banner as they walked down the path. Hermie sang along the way.

Fall, fall, my favorite time.
Cool, fresh air so fine ...


All the garden friends were gathered at the park, getting everything ready for the big celebration. Antonio Ant and his crew were putting up tables and chairs, Lucy was hanging lanterns, Grannypillar was setting out all sorts of homemade goodies, Buzby was practicing his speech, and Flo was ... well, she was flying around trying really hard to be helpful.

Everyone was laughing and smiling and enjoying being together. And the celebration had not even started yet.

Hermie greeted all his friends and told them about his harvest song. "Want to hear my song?" he asked each one.

His garden friends were kind and said, "Sure, Hermie." "Nice song, Hermie." "Good job!"

Hermie liked all the nice things people said about his song. He felt so good that he forgot that he had promised to help Wormie hang the banner.

"Hermie," called Wormie. He was dangling from a tall flower, trying to hang the banner all by himself. "I could use a little help here."

Hermie rushed to help. "Oh, I'm sorry, Wormie. I'm here!"

"It's okay, Hermie. Thanks for the help," said Wormie.

Together they hung the banner that said "Welcome to the Harvest Festival." It looked great.
