BrilliANT

A hilarious journey into the impressive micro-world of an ant colonyÑnarrated by words that end in ÔantÕ. With a quirky cleverness that brings to mind the genius work of Philip Bunting and Jon Klassen, this unique 16-word picture book journeys into the impressive micro-world of an ant colony. It is sparsely narrated by words that end in Ôant,Õ letting readersÕ imaginations run wild along with the humorous hand-drawn illustrations. The life of a single ant is depicted from its birth to its (near!) death. It begins with the ÒexpectantÓ Queen ant. The antÕs predetermined role is revealed as a soldier ant (ÒmilitantÓ). Our protagonists further travels in life align with more ÒantÓ words, until it eventually wins the battle for a banana over a significantly larger foe and uses it to feed the entire colony, showing that this courageous character really is brilliANT!
