Learn from the Ants

Small Ants, Big Wisdom

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

"Go to the ant," says the book of Proverbs — and in this story, a boy who would rather put things off watches a tiny team of ants prepare, carry, and work together without anyone telling them to. Children learn diligence the warm way: small hands, steady work, and wisdom for everyday tasks. Drawn from Proverbs 6.

Written for children ages 6–12, this book has ten chapters, each with three illustrations (30 in all) and a "Do" activity and a "Pray" prayer to close. All Scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV). It ends with a Gospel Invitation that helps a child understand how to begin following Jesus, plus a note for grown-ups.
