| webLongDescription | Jonathan and Martha are two lonely worms that live on opposite sides of a tree. One day, a big juicy pear lands on the ground between them. Before they know it, they are in a tangle, forced to share their lives together. But what will happen when these once-lonely worms are forced to separate? Using his signature mix of eye-catching illustration and simple, easy narrative, Petr Horácek weaves together a story that captures the development of a life-long friendship between two unlikely worms. They fight, they have fun, they encounter danger, but most importantly, they do it all together and discover the importance of friendship. |
