What About Worms!?

By

Written and Illustrated by: Mo Willems and Ryan T Higgins
Disney-Hyperion, 2020. Easy Reader.

There is a new Elephant and Piggie book! Check out this new book about a brave Tiger who isn't afraid of anything except ..... worms! In true Mo Willems style this charming funny book written by Ryan T Higgins, author of Mother Bruce and We don't eat our classmates,  portrays a tiger who discovers that all of his favorite things, apples, dirt, and books have worms. Worms ruin everything and they could be anywhere! What should he do? Leave it to the worms to work through their fears. Those slimy, wiggly worms do some reading and find out that things they are afraid of like tigers may not be so bad after all.

I really enjoyed this book about facing our fears. This is an excellent beginning reader book for children who enjoy reading books with humorous colorful illustrations and not a lot of text. You will fall in love with Tiger and the worms as they learn to look at the world and their fears in a different way.

Review: Alina in Her Roots

By
Alina in Her Roots Written by Shenaaz Nanji Illustrations by Beena Mistry Toronto, ON : Second Story Press, 2026. Intermediate. 91 pages. Alina is traveling by herself from her home in Canada to Nairobi, Kenya. But it's more than just a vacation to visit her favorite cousin Safi—Alina is on a secret mission to find her roots. Her family history started in India with her great-great-great-grandparents. Her parents were born in Kenya, then moved to Canada where she was born. She's heard stories about Kenya but wants to know where she fits in and to find what she is missing. Nairobi is a welcoming, vibrant, exciting place where so much feels so different. Alina writes journal entries to her Nani about her experiences, finding ways to make her own stories through matatu rides, trips to the market, a safari, and meals shared with new loved ones. This is a really well-written, cheerful and reassuring realistic fiction about the adventure of exploring different places and cultures.
