About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to nurture a child's natural curiosity about the gross or the overlooked, or when they need a lesson in how small actions can lead to massive impacts. It is a fantastic choice for the kid who thinks 'serious' science is boring or for the budding gardener who needs to understand the ecosystem beneath their feet. This engaging narrative follows Charles Darwin as he obsesses over the humble earthworm, proving to a skeptical Victorian society that these 'lowly' creatures are actually the world's most important architects. Through humor and high-energy illustrations, it explores themes of scientific perseverance and the wonder of nature. It is perfectly pitched for ages 6 to 9, blending silly 'poop' humor with genuine historical and biological facts to show that even the smallest being has a super power.
