From the publisher

A small red ant finds a delicious crumb in a Mexican cornfield but is afraid that she’s not strong enough to move it herself. She goes from one creature to the next, looking for help, and is surprised to discover who is the strongest of all. “A satisfying Mexican version of the rock-scissors-paper fable, accompanied by simple but expressive pictures.” – School Library Journal
