A whimsical tale in which family lore inspires newfound daring, told
by Argentina's sleepiest ant
Juan Hormiga, the greatest storyteller of his entire anthill, loves to
recount his fearless grandfather's adventures. When Juan and his fellow
ants gather around for storytime, he hypnotizes all with tales of his
grandfather's many exploits - including his escape from an eagle's
talons and the time he leapt from a tree with just a leaf for a
parachute. When he's through telling these tales, Juan loves to cozy up
for a nice long nap. He's such a serious napper that he takes up to ten
siestas every day! Though well loved by his ant friends, Juan decides
telling tales and sleeping aren't quite enough for him - it's time to
set off on his own adventure. With whimsical, irresistible
illustrations, Juan Hormiga affirms the joys of sharing stories, and of
creating your own out in the world.
