If I Was an Ant

Children today are surrounded by distractions—screens, noise, and fast-paced routines that make it hard for them to slow down and see God’s hand in their everyday world. If I Was an Ant gently solves this problem by helping kids understand God’s love through something simple, familiar, and delightful: the tiny ant.

Through colorful storytelling and engaging illustrations, Scott Boucher invites children to see biblical truth in a way they can actually feel and remember. As kids follow Mindy’s imaginative journey—watching ants work, pray, play, gather food, and live the way God designed—they begin to connect the dots between God’s creation and God’s care for them.

This book helps children:

• Build an early foundation of faith by recognizing that God cares for even the smallest creatures — and therefore cares deeply for them too.

• Grow gratitude and trust in God, as the story shows how God guides, protects, and provides for the ants just as He promises to guide us.

• Learn important character lessons like teamwork, responsibility, helping others, and listening for direction—virtues children naturally see in the ants’ world.

• Develop a habit of prayer and thankfulness, modeled by the ants themselves as Mindy imagines how even the smallest creature bows its head to pray.

• Experience Scripture in a fun, memorable way, as Mindy reads Proverbs 6 and begins to understand why God wants us to learn from the ants.

More than a story, If I Was an Ant is a playful doorway into spiritual conversations between parents and children. It helps kids discover that God is present in the world around them—and always present with them. Through simple rhymes and joyful illustrations, young readers learn that God made them with care, purpose, and love.

If I Was an Ant isn’t just a bedtime story.
It’s a faith-building adventure your child will carry into everyday life—one tiny step at a time.
