Mosquito Story

For too long mosquitoes, mozzies for short, have been the subject of unjustified persecution, ridicule and scorn. They suffer the humiliation of being an evolutionary mistake, sent to torment and plague humans. Good for nothing, unwanted! Tainted by a reputation of being diseased, blood-sucking pests. This book seeks to rectify that misconception in an adventurous and humourous way. Every mozzie has a story to tell!
This unique and quirky story is full of life and death, love and hate, work and fun, ups and downs, following the day-to-day adventures of a mozzie community living next to a fish pond in a suburban front yard. This book will capture your imagination and redefine the readers’ preconceptions of mosquitoes. After reading the book, you will momentarily pause and reflect, prior to swatting the next mosquito that settles on your arm.
