Overview

A heartwarming homage to family filled with meaningful moments that vividly capture the essence of growing up. From the magic of finding ""treasures"" in Papi's garden to falling off a bicycle, these scenes ground us while also lifting us, connecting us to lives lived and lost. They also reveal how even the simplest rituals-whether building a rock pile or sharing a tomato sandwich-can lead to small epiphanies. Such deceptively mundane things carry profound truths, reminding us to pause and reflect on their deeper significance as unifying moments when time stops being fleeting and becomes something fuller. It's a children's story, yes, but also an adult one. Speaking to those who have come to understand not just the preciousness, but the precociousness of childhood insights, and the ease with which we once made meaning The Isle of Worms reads like a love letter to family, to the magic of childhood, to Canada, and to the evocative, if not effectively resurrecting, power of memory. Memory which can transform the ordinary into the sacred. Or perhaps the sacred was always there waiting to be revealed by a contemplative mind. - From the foreword by Isabelle Pinard
