Author: Noemi Vola

Who cares about earthworms, those inconspicuous pink creatures living underground, rarely seen until we start gardening? What kind of life do they lead? What do they look like and what are their characteristics? What might they be thinking as they dig endless tunnels, and why do they dig at all? What happens if a head loses its tail — do they lose each other forever? And what do earthworms do during thunderstorms? In this two-hundred-page, mainly cartoon-style book, talented Italian illustrator Noemi Vola answers these and many other questions. Exploring earthworms — creatures once studied by Charles Darwin — is both poignant and touching, especially as we often don’t understand ourselves as well. Perhaps the earthworms in this presentation reflect us in unexpected ways.
