Feature
★ A standout work by acclaimed Korean picture book creator Lee Ji-won, who spent three years living alongside over a thousand earthworms to create this innovative nonfiction picture book blending story and science. All rights are available.
★ Breaking the barrier between narrative and science, knowledge unfolds naturally through daily care routines. Using earthworms as a medium, the book guides readers to participate in home ecological cycles—offering not only popular science and educational value, but also meaningful social relevance. With a groundbreaking perspective, it redefines the concept of a pet, presenting earthworms as healing companions. Through comic-style storytelling, memoir, and practical science, it expands the boundaries of companionship and resonates deeply with readers.
★ The book covers nine core themes—from earthworm care and composting to ecological cycles—providing actionable guidance. It is both authoritative and highly readable, making it an ideal ecological primer for children.
Description
This hybrid nonfiction picture book reimagines earthworms as unexpected yet rewarding companions. Created by an artist who lived with over 1,000 worms for three years, it blends graphic storytelling, memoir, and practical ecological knowledge.
Across nine chapters, comic-style episodes from real life flow into
clearly structured informational spreads covering worm anatomy, habitat
setup, feeding, seasonal care, and vermicomposting. Rather than
separating story from science, the book presents knowledge as something
discovered through daily care.
By framing worms as pets, it expands the idea of companionship and
invites readers to engage directly with ecological cycles at home.
