Thanks to School Library Journal for the great review of my newest book, “Worm and Butterfly are Friends Always.” “Verdict: This standout graphic reader will shine in any early reader collection.”

Full review: HERE
PreS-Gr 2–Best buds Worm and Butterfly are separated in winter by their natural activities. Worm estivates (burrows underground) while Butterfly migrates south to Mexico. In Butterfly’s absence, a lonely Worm makes friends with a Steller’s jay, who is also missing a migrating companion. Worm and the bird enjoy winter thrills while they wait for their friends’ return. When spring arrives and Butterfly comes home, Worm and Worm’s new baby welcome Butterfly back as a member of the family, and old and new friends get to meet. Cozy jewel tones lend a sense of warmth-in-winter to this sweet, lightly humorous sequel to Worm and Caterpillar. Back matter includes illustrated facts about the wintering activities of butterflies, worm, and birds. VERDICT This standout graphic reader will shine in any early reader collection.
