About the book

In the land of hard-workers, meet the world’s laziest ant! From architecture to farming, explore how amazing ant-work can be.

The other ants think Anita is lazy, but she just can’t choose what job to do. At the colony job fair, she discovers all the types of work that go on inside and around the anthill, but that just gives her a taste for adventure. Reporting back on her travels – did you know ants were the world’s first farmers, and can build their own boats? – Anita accidentally, finds her perfect role.

In partnership with Rocket Bird Books.
