I ask the question "Did you ever feel like you were too small to be important?" Children have a big job growiing and learning but the earthworm is a very small creature with a big job to do making plants and the earth alive! I show with pictures and words the different ways we experience earthworms and the amazing way they are all over the earth and have special bodies that we need to care for.

Excerpt
We are special little people, human beings, living on this very large planet called Earth. We live in a city full of people, where we have an important job to do growing and learning, but we are just one of many, and sometimes that makes us feel small, too small to be important. Well, down beneath the surface of the earth there is a living creature much, much smaller than any of us, who also has a very important job caring for the earth, called the earthworm.
