Synopsis

"A charming story that fosters a love of books and lifelong learning." — Kirkus Reviews

Meet Benjamin. He’s a worm… who doesn’t want to eat apples. He wants to READ!

While the rest of his worm family happily munches through fruit and scraps, Benjamin dreams of something very different—real books! But Benjamin doesn't quite fit in, and when he sets off to find a world filled with stories, he discovers an adventure far bigger than he could ever have imagined.

Funny, imaginative, and wonderfully warm, Books for Benjamin is a delightful celebration of books, libraries, curiosity, and the joy of being yourself. It's the sort of story that makes children giggle while quietly reminding them that being different can be something very special—and that the right book can open up an enormous world of possibilities.

Perfect for story time, classroom reading corners, and library shelves, Books for Benjamin is a joyful adventure for young readers—and a book parents, teachers, and librarians can feel good about sharing.
