Little Ant is having the worst day ever. Then he meets a praying mantis who is able to remain happy, even in the most difficult of circumstances. Will Little Ant learn his secret? It is so easy to freak out and get upset when things don't go our way, especially when we feel trapped and hopeless. When Little Ant gets trapped in a jar with a group of bugs, only the mantis doesn't get upset, which upsets Little Ant even more! As usual, Little Ant doesn't think that there is anything another bug can teach him. Then the mantis invites the fuming Little Ant to sit down beside him and just breathe. When he does, Little Ant finds that after a while, his angry feelings fade away. Free to think clearly, he is able to solve his problem. This is a great story to spark a discussion with your little one about the value of taking a moment to calm down in a difficult situation. Reading this story aloud is also an opportunity to encourage your child to think about and express gratitude for the good things they have in their life. This is an original story, inspired by Aesop's "The Hares and the Frogs," which teaches that there is always someone worse off than yourself. Little Ant's story avoids comparing oneself to others, and focuses instead on recognizing and appreciating the good things in one's life. The moral: count your blessings. About the Series The Little Ant Books were created with social emotional learning (SEL) in mind. Kids learn best by example. Little Ant often acts on his big feelings before taking a moment to think about what he is doing. As they see Little Ant learn from his mistakes, kids will develop a deeper understanding of their own emotions. The stories can be used as a learning tool to help kids discover the small gap that exists between feeling and acting - a gap in which thinking and choosing how we want to behave is possible, no matter how we feel. The stories are reimaginings of Aesop's classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like "appearances can be deceiving" and "one good turn deserves another." Brought to life by Tina Perko's vibrant and whimsical illustrations, they follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up. Little Ant's adventures provide him with opportunities to build character and learn valuable lessons about friendship, kindness, empathy, teamwork, courage, and the importance of being yourself.
