Martina the beautiful cockroach needed to be wed and her grandmother advised her of a coffee test she must use on potential suitors. At first Martina was hesitant, but in the end her grandmother's advice lead her to the perfect husband.
Deedy's use of the various characters as potential husbands allows the reader to understand Martina's choice in a husband. Deedy's use of the grandmother as the one who offers important advise on how to choose a husband follows the tradition of seeking advice from those older than us. This story could be used to teach young children about listening and respecting those who are older. Here is a link to the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z28ChgqayU4
