“In a universe where Black fathers and Black sons are seemingly forever under attack, here is a humble and beautiful book about that relationship between a boy and a man. It does not matter what is going on in the outside world. What matters is the love and bond between this father and son. Worms Are A Yummy Snack: A Story of Patience, Anger, and Joy is the kind of book I wish I had as a fatherless boy: a story that shows us what does indeed exist, and what is also possible, in spite of all.”
