“The story tackles the sensitive topic of self-image and impact on self-esteem. It is ground breaking as it tackles the theme of body image in a way that is accessible for primary-aged children. Concerns about appearance are becoming increasingly common in this age group, and it is a difficult topic to tackle. The Worm, Slug, Maggot and Leech story is a fable that demonstrates the perils of wanting to change appearance to conform with a glamorous stereotype. The message of being happy in one’s skin is an important one, and the story provides a useful metaphor for discussion. Teachers and therapists will welcome this addition to their resources.” Mallory Henson, Senior Educational Psychologist
