This series of books is about Arlo who is a worker Ant.
Book One
'Arlo the Ant and his Very Big Red Pants', is all about how Arlo finds out how much work it is to collect food when he goes out for the first time with his friends. Being very creative Arlo thinks of an alternative to collect food which makes it easier and therefore changes the way he and his friends work.
These colourful picture books are fun and educational for young children, teaching them about how to work together, being kind to those who are in need of more help, and understanding the differences between our rich and diverse cultures in the world we live.
Told through the antics of Arlo the Ant and all the wonderful characters that will come to life in the series, topics will range from bullying, race, social awareness and disabilities. Having worked with young children for most of my career in both mainstream and the disability sector, my experiences are rich and varied, which in turn means that Arlo can relay these in his own fun way.
Inspired by children, written for children and read by children, Arlo will bring a variety of life skills to children at a very young age.
Knowledge and understanding of one another at a young age is key to building and developing happy and positive relationships long term.
