Alam and Nana discover tiny ants in the garden in the children’s book Alam, Nana & the Tiny Ants by Dr. Zee.

Alam, Nana and the Tiny Ants

Alam has a problem.

A very teeny-tiny, six-legged, scurrying-across-the-sidewalk kind of problem.

ANTS. 😳🐜

Whenever Alam sees one…

He moves away.

Another one?

A whole line of them?!

They’re tiny.

They’re busy.

And Alam would be perfectly happy if they stayed…

WAYYYYY OVER THERE.

But one sunny afternoon, Alam sits beside his beloved Nana in her garden.

And something curious happens.

Instead of running from the ants…

they watch them.

🐜 One carries a crumb.

🐜 Another carries a leaf.

🐜 Another marches along as though it has a VERY important appointment and is already seven minutes late. 😂

Alam watches.

And watches.

And slowly begins to wonder…

Where are all those tiny ants going?

Do they have chores?

Do they help one another?

Do they have families waiting for them?

And perhaps the biggest question of all…

Could something SO tiny really be SO scary?

Alam scoots a little closer.

Then…

a little closer.

And before long, one very curious little ant is about to give one very cautious little boy a VERY BIG surprise. 🐜💚

What happens when Alam finally sees the world from an ant-sized point of view?

Could a creature smaller than his fingertip teach him something enormous?

And could an ordinary afternoon in Nana’s garden become a tiny adventure Alam will never forget?

There’s only one way to find out…

So bring your curiosity, pack your courage, and watch where you step—

because sometimes…

THE TINIEST FRIENDS LEAVE THE BIGGEST FOOTPRINTS ON OUR HEARTS. 🐜💚

ALAM, NANA & THE TINY ANTS

A tender, funny little story about curiosity, courage, compassion—and discovering that sometimes the things we fear become much less frightening once we understand them.

You’ll smile.

You’ll giggle.

You might even find yourself saying hello to the next tiny ant marching past your feet.

And who knows?

🐜 It might just be on its way somewhere VERY important.
