Perfect for fans of And Tango Makes Three and The Sissy Duckling, this irresistible picture book is a celebration of love in all its splendid forms from debut author J. J. Austrian and the acclaimed author-illustrator of Little Elliot, Big City, Mike Curato. You are cordially invited to celebrate the wedding of a worm ...and a worm. When a worm meets a special worm and they fall in love, you know what happens next: They get married! But their friends want to know-who will wear the dress? And who will wear the tux? The answer is: It doesn't matter. Because Worm loves worm.
"Austrian and Curato turn the simple wedding of two worms into a three-ring circus that slyly turns the whole controversy over same-sex versus heterosexual marriage on its head...As in life, love conquers all." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "How do you explain a revolution to a young audience? This book is a terrific start." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With its cute critters, sweet story, and messages of equality, this is a first purchase that celebrates the fact that love always wins." -- School Library Journal "A witty and playful story...Adults looking for some assistance in explaining marriage equality will find this a concise and useful too." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
