Nothing can ruin a picnic faster than a bunch of ants. It's a good thing there are no ants in this book... well, maybe there's only one. Or two... Or ten?? Maybe it's not so bad. Ants are kind of cool, after all - especially the ones with amazing butts, like the Acrobat Ant that waves its back end around to scare off enemies. Or the Slender Leaf Ant that can glide through the air. Or the Dinosaur Ant, which is the biggest ant in the world! Okay, so a picnic with ants is actually lots of fun! But what if an anteater also wants to join the picnic?

Art for the birds. Art for the ants. Art for the dogs, cats and raccoons. Art to make them laugh, make them think, make them feel at home. But who is creating it? Only Anonymouse knows for sure... This clever tale mixes street art, animals and gorgeous illustrations to create a meditation on how art can uplift any creature's spirit - human or animal - when it speaks directly to them. Every page of Anna Pirolli's stunning artwork is its own masterpiece with its bold pops of colour and sly humour, elevating Vikki VanSickle's subtle but evocative text.
