A glimpse inside

Deep inside a termite colony, the loudest voices are not always the ones that matter most. This is the story of Chepe, a worker so quiet he is nearly invisible, and what happens when the colony's survival depends on a courage that does not shout. Built for the Grade 6 reader who tracks ethical complexity, values quiet strength, and knows that the overlooked often carry the deepest insight. A fable for every child who has ever felt too small to be heard.
