I thought this was going to be a book about how silly weddings are. But it's actually a book about love without labels. Worm and Worm are each both bride and groom. The final illustration is just amazing and beautiful. Dest loves Worm Loves Worm book.

Two worms fall in love and decide to marry, but everyone around them tries to tell them "how it's always been done." The worms are both androgynous and they choose to accept the elements that work for them and deny those which don't--they just want to get married. I really liked this book and can see it being a wonderful tool to use to discuss these elements with young readers. Definitely recommended!
For: fans of worms; readers looking for a book about how love is love, regardless of what the world expects.
Possible red flags: some readers may not enjoy the androgynous, non-traditional nature of this story.

A super cute book (which I wouldn't have expected from a book about bugs) with a seriously good message. Kiddos will get to see that a "traditional" marriage isn't what is important, anyone can get married however they want because worm loves worm.

Hearing about this ahead of time, I was worried that this was overly message driven. It does have a message, but the book is more than that. Also, it's adorable and wonderful. I didn't find it too preachy even though there is a cricket who looks a lot like a minister. ;)
