A Silly Worm Story

About the Book

This story is about six silly worms who meet each other as they are forced to come out of the rain soaked ground. Their names are silly because in real life worms are neither male nor female which is the reason for the silly names. They are Neether, Nyther, Eether, Eyther, Nothin, and Whatever. Find out why they all popped back into the ground at the end of the story.

The illustrator, Donna Larsen, born in October 1961, is Debra’s older sister. She too, became deaf as a result of the measles at a very young age. She communicates using American Sign Language.
