UNFORTUNATE LIFE OF WORMS (TRA PUBLISHING) (HB)

An innovative, ironic, and metaphoric exploration of the life of worms featuring the impressive and versatile talents of illustrator and writer Noemi Vola. Her funny, clever illustrations are paired with pithy, ironic text that conveys all you ever needed (and perhaps never needed) to know about worms. Beginning with 'factual' material about worms in general, from eating habits to underground habitats to its varying shades of pink, the narrative then follows one worm in particular through a tragic loss of its better half (also known as the worm's tail), becoming a metaphor for all who have loved and lost.
