The Worm Family Has Its Picture Taken

Worms dont take good family photos, do they? Find out in this hilarious picture book from a Caldecott Honor illustrator and debut author about a young worm who comes to appreciate her very unusual family for who they are.

Emma is excited for her worm family to have their portrait taken. But when she sees her other friends portraits, she gets discouraged. We had the most beautiful smiles, Ellie the Chipmunk squeals. Abigail the Cat meows, I looked gorgeous with my big poufy hair. The worm family doesnt have teethhow will they show their beautiful smiles? They dont have hair eitherhow can it look big and poufy?! So Emma gathers wigs, giant fake teeth, and colorful clothing for her parents and sisters.

But its only after taking off their costumes that the worm family is able to wriggle and squiggle and squeeze into a delightful pose that only a worm family can make. And Emma? She thinks its perfectly perfect.
