This is my little boy, who is also called Patrick. The Ant and The Boy was written for him while we were on holiday. He loves books and loves a good bedtime story. We had forgotten to pack any books, so one night, Patrick asked me to make up a bedtime story for him. Earlier that night, we had been on an ant hunt, and we were feeding the ants some sugar. So, I decided to make up a story about a boy and an ant, and this is how The Ant and The Boy was created.

Meet Patrick, he’s the main character of the book, he is based on my little boy.

This is the Very Brave ant, who becomes friends with Patrick.

Meet the worried ants, they get scared and worried, when they see a Big giant coming towards them.

This group of big children are a little bit mean towards Patrick, all because he’s smaller than them.
