The Worm Family Has Its Picture Taken

Worms don't take good family photos, do they? Find out in this hilarious picture book from a Caldecott Honor illustrator and debut author about a young worm who comes to appreciate her very unusual family for who they are.

Emma worm can’t wait for her family to have its picture taken! But after seeing her friends’ portraits she starts to worry. She can’t smile for the camera like her friend Ellie the chipmunk because worms don’t have teeth. She can’t show off her poofy hair like her friend Abigail the cat because worms don’t have hair. And she can’t display her beautiful colors like her friend Olivia the butterfly because worms are only one color. What’s a worm family to do? Can Emma find a way to make her very plain family look special?

Jennifer Frank lives in a suburb of Boston, MA with her three daughters, her husband, and their schnoodle Lola. When she’s not writing (or obsessing over a good idea for a book), Jennifer enjoys curling up on her couch reading, spending time with family, and taking long walks with her husband.
