Jeremy, a grasshopper, can't hop, so he wears jogging shoes. When he is teased by his family and friends for being different, he runs away from home. He soon meets Webster, a worm who's afraid of the dark, and Sally, a June bug with an attitude. Feeling alone and misunderstood, they decide to search for a place where they will be accepted. Along the way they have adventures that strengthen their friendship and self-reliance. The Land of Misfit Bugs is a story about being proud of who you are, having compassion and respect for others, and appreciating the value of friendship.
