But in the process of trying to make the sobbing worm feel better, the narrator starts to think of the various ways tears can be used productively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor example, if you're sad around lunchtime, cry until you fill a pot with your tears and boil pasta -- you won't even need to season with salt! Crying can be used to dilute paint, and with paint, you can make beautiful art. Crying also serves lots of different purposes. Without tears, the rivers would dry up. Clouds would keep getting bigger and bigger. And crying also helps the pears to grow, and with pears, you can make jam. Jam makes people happy, and can help staunch the flow of tears . . . at least until the jam runs out! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoin a tearful worm and a bungling narrator as they explore the many uses for tears in this hilarious and quirky picture book by up-and-coming author-illustrator Noemi Vola.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOEMI VOLA\u003c\/b\u003e is the author and illustrator of several books for kids, including \u003ci\u003eThe Unforgettable Party\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e From Here to Far Away\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Book of Horses* (*Revolutionary Ones)\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBear with Me\u003c\/i\u003e, which was selected in the 100 Outstanding Picturebooks Exhibition curated by dPICTUS at the 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair.
