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 ‘ant,’ letting readers’ 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 “expectant” Queen ant. The ant’s predetermined role is revealed as a soldier ant (“militant”). Our protagonists further travels in life align with more “ant” 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! The end matter showcases a number of interesting facts about ants and their superhero qualities, while end papers continue the fun play-on-words. This minimalist picture book is the debut for Swazi-born, Sunshine Coast- based writer, Rosi Ngwenya. Illustrator Sandy Flett is best known for her line-illustration work in junior fiction series such as Juno Jones, Word Ninja and Edie’s Experiments. This is her debut picture book.","brand":"Riveted Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46020221796543,"sku":"9780645869309","price":29.69,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/80331-26a56935a0f9662e74f06849d458e9ad65f7a8037fd1bd167afbd3b1bf5454e5.jpg?v=1786826307","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/brilliant-a-journey-into-the-impressive-life-of-an-ant","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
