This funny, engaging eco story invites young readers to follow the adventures of Harriets ravenous compost worms as they munch their way through their wide and wonderful weekly menu.
Harriets nine-hundred-and-eighty-three hungry worms live in a shady corner of her backyard in a big, green box. They spend their days munching on anything from Aunt Tildas herbal teabags to the sports pages of Uncle Sams paper. Harriet watches and waits, eventually deciding the worms are so BORING. Until one day, the worms leave Harriet a big surprise worm wee!
Packed with worm facts, Harriets Hungry Worms is the ideal companion for worm warriors and curious composters keen to roll their sleeves up and put their kitchen food scraps to good use.
Samantha Smith is a lover of all things green and hopes to inspire young eco warriors with this, her first picture book. Melissa Johns is an artist, illustrator, an avid upcycler and a closet poet. She is passionate about stimulating young minds through art and literature.
