Are Ants Really in My Pants?
by
Wendy Delcourt
Stormy is full of energy, curiosity, and big feelings—but sometimes, grownups say the funniest things. Are ants really in her pants? Are butterflies actually fluttering in her belly? What about that lump in her throat? Is it a frog? An apple? A boat? Through playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations, Stormy explores the mysterious sensations of her growing body and learns that her body is a wise teacher. With heartwarming humour and relatable experiences, this picture book empowers young readers to listen to their inner messages, build confidence, and develop a positive sense of self. Perfect for story time at home, in school, or anywhere in between, Are Ants Really in My Pants? fosters self-awareness, emotional well-being, and a whole lot of fun. So grab your comfy socks and join Stormy in discovering the amazing ways our bodies talk to us!
"This book moved me deeply. It felt like it was speaking directly to the longing I had as a child for someone to recognize, affirm and accept my thoughts and feelings. It normalized feelings I had that were unacceptable growing up, and gave little me permission to finally feel them. I think my life would have turned out differently if I had someone helping make these connections when I was young. It's a story I will read again and again and share with vulnerable women and children in my community." - Michelle (overcomer from exploitation, abuse and trafficking)
