A worm and a dinosaur grapple with the circle of life in this hilariously macabre longform picture book, perfect for fans of The Skull.

Every life has a beginning and an end, and if we're lucky, we make a few true friends along the way.

And hopefully those friends won't eat us. But you never know.

When a dinosaur's misplaced step flattens Frank the worm's friend, Frank takes the loss in stride. He and his buddies will eat the poor guy— that's what worms do. They eat dead things and return them to the soil. Someday, Frank's descendants will even eat the dinosaur.

David Duff is the pen name of an award-winning advertising creative from Northern Ireland, based in London. He spent much of his childhood listening to the stories of old men and women who sat on rickety chairs and never let the truth get in the way of a good tale. In his stories he is interested in relationships, science, and the absurd. The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument, illustrated by Noemi Vola, is his first children’s book.

Marianna Coppo is an author and illustrator who studied editorial illustration at MiMaster in Milan and now focuses on freelance illustration. Her debut picture book, Petra, received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and Booklist, and was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. She is also the creator of Ray, A Very Late Story, Such a Good Boy and, with author Daisy Bird, Whose Poo?. Her most recent book is Thingamabob.
