If My Sister Were a Worm

AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Holiday House | October 20, 2026

A pitch-perfect tale of sibling strife and over-the-top antics in the vein of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

What do you do when your sister steals your thunder? You turn her into a worm, of course.

Sibling resentment turns into a squirmy revenge fantasy in this comical picture book from Hauswirth, making her picture book debut, and Goecke (Billy and The Hole).

—Publisher's Weekly

"...Hauswirth’s particularity makes this iteration memorable: How many kids’ books feature a character who can cure a doll of something called purple-spotted-foot fever? ...Goecke has a lot of pink on her Procreate palette, the better for capturing the fantasized googly-eyed slimy-worm version of Maggie’s irritating sib. An original take on a familiar sibling dynamic."
