The March of the Ants, is written by Ursula Dubosarsky (Australian Children’s Laureate 2020/2021) and illustrated by Tohby Riddle (Australia’s nominee for the 2022 Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustration). It was published by Book Trail Press in 2021.
Ursula, one of Australia’s most inspired and original writers, wrote the text for a performance by audience volunteers at the announcement of her Laureateship at the National Library of Australia in Canberra, February 2020. Book Trail Press, in attendance at the event, thought it would make a perfect picture book text.
