The Little Pink Ant ILLUSTRATED by Antoinette Starkiewicz ©
The Little Pink Ant was created by the imagination of Anastasia to help creatures solve problems in gardens all over the world. The Little Pink Ant is very intelligent and helps other garden creatures by thinking. She is not an “action hero”—she is a “thinking hero”!
When an “action hero” is needed, the Little Pink Ant is helped by Mapuf, the magic propeller umbrella flower. He is a magic sundew flower which can fly, and he has big sharp teeth which he uses to protect the Little Pink Ant from bad creatures.
Anastasia lives in a big house and a lovely garden with her father. She is a little girl with a huge imagination. Wanting a special friend of her very own who was invisible to others, Anastasia imagined that one ant in her garden was pink and walked on two legs—just like a person.
Anastasia thought the the mother and father of the Little Pink Ant would would worry if their daughter was too diffferent from them and the other ants, so Anastasia imagined that all the ants in her garden walked on two legs.
However, the Little Pink Ant is extra-special because only she is pink and only she can understand what people say. The Little Pink Ant loves everyone, especially children and of course her friend Anastasia.
Anastasia’s father is a famous gardener who travels all over the world to solve problems in gardens. He often takes Anastasia with him and the Little Pink Ant goes too, traveling in Anastasia’s pink diamond locket.
.
Starting with Anastasia’s home and garden, there are many adventures in store for the Little Pink Ant, where she will show the qualities that make her truly special.
Some of these adventures began with children in gardens all over the world writing to the Little Pink Ant (by email) and telling her about creature problems in their gardens.
