Reach for this book when your child starts noticing they are smaller, slower, or different from their peers and feels a twinge of self-consciousness about it. Through the relatable eyes of a small worm, this story gently explores the habit of social comparison and the eventual realization that being ourselves is actually quite wonderful. The narrative follows Worm as he observes his animal friends and engages in simple activities like building block towers or staying cool in the sun. While the book addresses the heavy feeling of being 'not enough,' its tone remains light and playful, making it a perfect pick for preschoolers and early elementary children. It serves as a soothing reminder that while others may have different strengths, our own unique traits and experiences are just right for us. It is an ideal tool for normalizing feelings of inadequacy and pivoting toward self-acceptance.
