Description
by Sydney Lea (Author), James Kochalka (Author), James Kochalka (Illustrator)
In The Exquisite Triumph of Wormboy, multi-award winning illustrator and graphic novelist James Kochalka brings us a thematic collection of drawings that chronicle the exploits of a worm who embarks on an adventure of rescue, fueled by inescapable surges of bravery. This odyssey is aptly and expertly versified into an ekphrastic epic by former Vermont Poet Laureate Sydney Lea. Readers of all ages will be entertained by the sights, tension, suspense, and humor of this unique collection.
Yet here's a leaf! And here's a boat!
And here's the cure for the chill of doubt!
Why should not hope, however odd,
Be just as strong, no, stronger than gods?
