JAKE, DAD and THE WORM 978-0-9886784-5-3 by Martha Sears West (case laminate) $20.95 Also available in paperback 978-0-9886784-1-5 for $13.95. Annotation: A lowly earthworm teaches Jake that, even when you''re small and ignored, you can still do big, heroic things-especially when encouraged by a sensitive father. Forty years ago the debut author, summoned by a commotion, rushed to the front porch. There, other family members cheered on an acrobatic worm dangling precariously over a step. The worm, to applause, righted itself and survived, as did this true tale that gave Jake fresh courage. 8.5 x 11. Full water-color illustrations. 40 pp. (Available now). -The story of the worm encourages children to seek out simple experiences with a sense of wonder, - says West. She invites readers to appreciate the worm as a hero of nature which enriches soil and doesn''t need superpowers or a cartoon face to win our admiration. (Naturalist Charles Darwin wrote of the worm: -...it may be doubted if there are any other animals which have played such an important part in the history of the world...-) West has been called a -sister-in-rhymes- to Shel Silverstein, A.A. Milne, and Ogden Nash. (Karen McCarthy, ForeWord Clarion Reviews) In this, her first book, West enlivens the story with watercolor illustrations and rhythmic phrases that roll naturally off the tongue. Reviews: -This story demonstrates how each of us fits into the big picture of the universe in small and significant ways we can be proud of. The illustrations alone are meaningful, but coupled with the text, they make the experience one you won''t want to miss.- -Deborah K. Ilardi, editor, School Nurse News -Superbly rendered visual images...stunning...Young elementary school students will identify with Jake''s situation, and the easy reading level and engaging illustrations make this an excellent offering for both shared and independent reading.- -Carolyn Bailey, ForeWord Clarion Reviews -A delight to read-fun rhymes and playful use of language. The illustrations are AMAZING. The page with the worm in the superhero cape never fails to produce a hearty belly laugh from our 5 year old. And yes, a beautiful message too.- -L.D., Amazon.com Biographical Note: The daughter of a professional writer, Martha Sears West grew up in Bethesda, Maryland where she enjoyed composing poems even as a child. She found it more fun to create rhymes than to play hopscotch. West taught languages briefly in a junior high school before rearing three children of her own with her supportive husband Steve. Her fascination with wordplay increased when in her fifties she earned a bachelor''s degree in linguistics from the University of Maryland.

..".an ideal bedtime book." -Kirkus Reviews A children''s picture book that presents a story within a story about the enduring nature of love... uses soft, realistic artwork and simple language to tell a reassuring tale. The book opens and closes with stark, black-and-white silhouette illustrations of a young girl and a baby reading a book together ("I''ll turn the pages and you can look at the pictures," the girl says). This frames the central, rhyming text, told from a plural first-person point of view, about the many ways that a person can be loved: "We love you when you''re roaring, or as quiet as a mouse." This main section features bright, colorful images of pleasing landscapes, animals, and a young boy in what appears to be a somewhat digitized watercolor style. The text is simple, but it has a classic feel, and it avoids flashiness and humorous touches in favor of a serious but positive tone. It also isn''t overly wordy; most pages contain just a single sentence, and this brevity will make the book work well as a read-aloud for younger children. (In this context, the young girl''s phrase, "You were a good listener ," will ring true.) The soothing images and calm, reassuring language make it an ideal bedtime book, as well. ... the rhyming text throughout gives the story a pleasing rhythm, as in lines such as, "More than all the grains of sand, which we could never count. And if we add them all...we''ll love you more than that amount." The illustrations are ... beautiful .... This book''s straightforward rhythm and appealing illustrations will likely make it a favorite of parents and young children. -- Kirkus Reviews July 30, 2015
