博客來Miley the worm is kind, caring, and always ready to listen.
Every day, she wiggles along her favourite path, meeting friends who need someone to talk to. A worried snail. A frustrated grasshopper. A tired spider. Miley listens with her whole heart, offering comfort, kindness, and understanding wherever she goes.
But little by little, something begins to change.
As Miley carries the worries of others, she starts to feel heavier herself. The more she listens, the more she takes on - until the weight becomes too much to bear. Through gentle moments of reflection and self-discovery, Miley learns an important lesson: being a good friend doesn’t mean carrying everyone else’s burdens. True friendship includes kindness, boundaries, and caring for yourself, too.
The Bag Worm is a warm and beautifully illustrated story that helps children understand empathy, emotional awareness, and healthy boundaries in a way that feels safe, comforting, and relatable. With soft watercolour artwork and a tender narrative, this book encourages children to recognise their feelings, express themselves, and learn that it’s okay to let go of what isn’t theirs to carry.
Perfect for shared reading, classroom discussions, or quiet moments before bed, The Bag Worm supports emotional growth while reminding children-and the adults who read with them-that kindness should never come at the cost of one’s own well-being.
Ideal for children ages 4-8, parents, caregivers, teachers, and counsellors, this story gently explores:
- Empathy and emotional awareness
- Healthy friendships and boundaries
- Self-care and self-worth
- Understanding feelings without taking on emotional weight
A heartfelt and reassuring story about compassion, balance, and learning when to let go - The Bag Worm is a comforting reminder that caring for yourself is just as important as caring for others.
