The Airport Bugs Fight On is an uplifting children’s book that will put a smile on even very grown-up grownups’ faces. Ludvig the bedbug leads a fun, laid-back life with his family at the airport. One day, a cleanliness inspector arrives and threatens to shut the whole place down. Giving up is not the bedbugs’ style, of course – now is the time to be clever and take action! Allied with the airport beetles, the characters embark on an adventure to save their home. It is a story about bravery and the power of working together that is also chock full of laughs, surprises, and jelly donuts!
