Du Iz Tak?
Children's Book

Du iz tak? What is that?

All the insects gather to witness the plantlife unfurling and they work together to build a fort on it. But this is the wild world, after all, and something horrible is waiting to swoop down—booby voobeck!—only to be carried off in turn. Su! 

With exquisitely detailed illustrations and tragicomic flair, Carson Ellis invites readers to imagine the dramatic possibilities to be found in even the humblest backyard.
