Worm Makes a Sandwich, written & illustrated by Brianne Farley, takes kids on a clever & comical journey with Worm: a little friend with no hands, no kitchen and no ingredients. However, he wants to make you a sandwich his own way, using the magic of composting.
He transforms earth’s goodies, like broccoli bottoms, apple cores, and carrot tops, into compost. It’s a long, intricate process that takes patience & care, but Worm is determined to show us his talents!
Through Worm’s adventures and a little help from his underground buddies, kids learn how composting works in a simple yet hilarious way: food scraps don’t go to waste—they become the rich soil that grows fresh vegetables, which eventually make their way into sandwiches for humans to enjoy.
Worm’s “simple” task turns into a funny journey of problem-solving, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of where food comes from. It goes to show how even the smallest of good intentions can add up to something big & great!
