The Worms Told a Lie!

By Annie Snyder

The Worms Told a Lie is a funny, emotionally smart picture book that helps kids make sense of confusing grown-up behavior.

When Maya notices that what happened and what she is being told happened do not always match, she starts to spot the whispery worms-tiny, ridiculous creatures in fake mustaches and business ties who scramble to change signs, rewrite words, and insist their version is the "official" story. As the worms panic, cover things up, and make everything weirder, Maya begins to notice something important: confusion can be a clue.

With silly visual humor, laugh-out-loud worm nonsense, and a kid-friendly way of exploring confusing behavior and self-trust, The Worms Told a Lie helps children build emotional awareness, trust what is true, and recognize when something feels off. Perfect for ages 4-8, this playful and empowering story helps kids strengthen self-trust, reality-check confusing behavior, and remember that even when worms get weird... they can still trust their eyes, their ears, and themselves.
