CARMEN THE COCKROACH is an inspirational story for young children about a misunderstood, friendless young cockroach who overcomes insensitive bullying from other more popular bugs (worm, ladybug, butterfly, caterpillar, ant, bee, and more) at school. Carmen perseveres, and succeeds academically and athletically while making friends along the way. All the bugs learn that being different is OK, and getting to know a new bug before judging it can lead to friendship and happiness. With lovable bug illustrations, the book also contains interesting facts about Cockroaches and a fun "Name the bugs" game.
