Roberto: The Insect Architect by Nina Laden (ages 5–8) follows a young termite with an unusual dream—to become an architect, not eat wood. When his family and peers dismiss him, Roberto ventures to the “big bug city,” determined to design wonders inspired by masters like "Fleas van der Rohe." Using his skills to help homeless insects, he builds a thriving community and becomes celebrated, proving that following one's passion—and serving others—can change an entire world. Laden’s witty rhymes, clever insect-themed puns, and intricate collage-style illustrations make this story a delightful lesson in perseverance, creativity, and social responsibility.
