Overview
Winner of Communication Arts 2018 Illustration AnnualĀ
Digging through the ground day in and day out, Worm dreams of a better life.Ā Despite having endless paths of dirt to plough, other burrowing creatures to befriend, and underground treasures to discover, Worm wants moreāmore space to be alone. Too busy to see the world around it, pushing everything aside, Worm learns a hard lesson in appreciating what you have and where you are.Ā
This beautifully illustrated tale by award-winning author and illustrator Coralie Bickford-Smith explores themes of hope, curiosity, and the circle of life. Taking inspiration from Senecaās essay āOn the Shortness of Life,ā which reads āBut life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present and fear the future,ā and drawing from the simple wisdom of the natural world, Bickford-Smith reminds readers about the importance of slowing down and engaging in the life around us.
Printed in Italy, with a foil-stamped cloth cover, sewn binding, metallic inks, and high-quality paper, Bickford-Smith's new illustrated book is for readers of all ages of fables and fairy tales, from gardeners to bird-watchers to design lovers, and for those seeking mindfulness.
āand it will be a great companion volume to her first book,Ā The Fox and the Star, named Waterstones Book of the Year in 2015.
