Antonio Ant (en Inglés) - Lucero Quiroga Marin;Matthew Cascioli

Antonio may be tiny, but his courage is enormous. When Queen Ant‑oinette calls him forward with a mission no ant has ever completed - crossing the Great Rain Water Puddle - Antonio feels his antennae tremble. The puddle is wide, the water is deep, and the journey looks impossible. But Antonio refuses to say can't. He believes that even the smallest ant can do big things when he chooses to try.

With determination in his heart, Antonio builds a clever little raft from twigs, leaves, and imagination. Just when the waves seem too strong, help arrives in the form of Billy the Water Bug, a fast‑skimming friend who knows the puddle better than anyone. Together, they paddle, problem‑solve, and push forward, discovering that courage grows when shared - and fears shrink when faced side by side.

As Antonio ventures across the Great Rain Water Puddle, he learns that bravery isn't about size, strength, or perfection. It's about believing I CAN, even when the world feels big and uncertain. His journey becomes a celebration of perseverance, teamwork, and the quiet power of trying again.

Filled with vibrant illustrations, gentle humor, and heartwarming moments of triumph, Antonio I CAN is a picture book that encourages young readers to trust themselves, ask for help when they need it, and keep going even when the path looks challenging. Perfect for storytime, classroom discussions, and children ages 3-7 who are learning to build confidence one brave step at a time.

This inspiring adventure is perfect for readers who love: • Stories about courage, resilience, and growth • Friendship‑driven adventures with lovable characters • Problem‑solving and teamwork themes • Empowering messages that help children say I CAN instead of I can't

A joyful reminder that even the tiniest heroes can make the biggest splash.
