Will it happen again, Mama?
After the Ant Hill School is destroyed, a little boy ant is afraid to go back to school. His mom caringly explains to him that sometimes things happen in life over which we have no control, but we have to find a way to keep living and growing. To do that,
"We breathe in and breathe out, and hold onto each other.
We shed a lot of tears, and we love one another.
We all come together as a strong team of ONE,
and then we rebuild, and get things done!"
The Ant Hill Disaster thoughtfully addresses fears associated with both natural and man-caused disasters. It models effective parenting and teaching responses. This book can help assure children that through love, empathetic understanding, preparation, and effective communication, they can stand strong, even in the midst of uncontrollable events.
