Worm Loves Worm

Written by J.J Austrian

Illustrated by Mike Curato

32 Pages

As with many love stories, this one leads to marriage. Since they are worms and their gender is unclear, all their friends want to know is, who will wear the wedding dress? In the end they each wear parts of each other’s outfits, and teach everyone that relationships are about love, not what you wear.

This beautifully illustrated story will have readers wanted to turn the page for more. It looks at challenging topics like gender identity, gender stereotypes, and same- sex marriage in an accessible and sensitive way for young readers. Worm Loves Worm is a celebration of love.
