If you are looking for something unique, new and really wonderful …
Charlie Byrne’s Bookstore, Galway
“An inspiring tale that celebrates all that is good about community and solidarity. Beautifully illustrated with colourful characters that will delight and charm and written in a style that will appeal to children and adults alike, this is a book that should be in every classroom and school library in the country. Its message that when we support each other we can tackle anything is delivered in a way that will appeal to children, and to the child in all of us.”
Gregor Kerr, primary school teacher, Dublin
“The mighty, the arrogant and the swaggering brought low by the humble worm — what’s not to like in this charming tale of working together for what’s right and good? Up the worms!”
Theo Dorgan, poet
“High quality production, a fun and relevant story. A very child-friendly approach to political activism.”
Letterbox Library staff
“A unique take on conservation and protest – strong messages told through a lively text and attractive illustrations – I like it!”
