THE WORM FAMILY HAS ITS PICTURE TAKEN

THE WORM FAMILY HAS ITS PICTURE TAKEN by Jennifer Frank and David Ezra Stein

As we enter into graduation, vacation, and wedding season the cameras are a-clicking! This hilarious picture book entitled The Worm Family Has Its Picture Taken by Jennifer Frank and David Ezra Stein is the perfect read for this time of year!

When the Worm family decides to have a family picture taken, oldest daughter Emma is concerned that their picture won't look very good because they don't have the same physical characteristics (teeth, hair, clothes, etc) as their friends who have had beautiful family photos taken. So she puts together costumes to help them look like other families. The result is that it backfires, but something special happens that just the worms can do!

This picture book does not feel like a social issue book. This picture book feels like the fact that so many times we try and make our families do and be mirror images of the families around us by how we dress, look, etc. When kept in this light, we can celebrate the creativity that God has in making us unique.
