  This week we’re celebrating WORM LOVES WORM, a very special picture book from author J.J. Austrian and illustrator Mike Curato about two worms who wish to be married. Here’s what beloved children’s book author Jane Yolen had to tell us about WORM LOVES WORM:
  I think this book will be seen as iconic years from now, in the same way Where the Wild Things Are and Heather Has Two Mommies are. In a very simple text and pictures, the book reaches into the very heart of a problem and show us the simple solution. That this is all about love and about being able to say: Just because we have always done something one way, doesn’t mean we can’t do it another.
  And if the worms can understand this, why can’t we!
