Sandy knows what she looks like: a worm with short fuzzy hair that sticks out in all directions, tiny eyes, stubby antennas, and way down at the end of her sixteen legs--a caboose. How could she look so different from her mother? MaMa has beautiful wings that flash orange and velvet black. Each has tiny white polka dots. She is a beautiful butterfly. Sandy grows even more confused when MaMa tells her about upcoming changes. With growing concern Sandy waddles off to think and do what she does best--eat. As she nibbles on a milkweed leaf she thinks about MaMa's words. Sandy gets dizzy with all the thinking. Are these changes what MaMa went through? Is that why MaMa knows the answers to Sandy's questions? MaMa, Why am I a Worm?" helps Sandy understand that life is about changing, growing, and becoming the best you can be. "

Civil War studies normally focus on military battles, campaigns, generals and politicians, with the common Confederate soldiers and Southern civilians receiving only token mention. Using personal accounts from more than two hundred forty soldiers, farmers, clerks, nurses, sailors, farm girls, merchants, surgeons, chaplains and wives, author Jeff Toalson has created a compilation that is remarkable in its simplicity and stunning in its scope. These soldiers and civilians wrote remarkable letters and kept astonishing diaries and journals. They discuss disease, slavery, inflation, religion, desertion, blockade running, and their never-ending hope that the war would end before their loved ones died. A major portion of these documents were unpublished and were made available by the Brewer Library of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. With this, his third significant contribution to Civil War literature, Jeff Toalson joins the select company of Thomas W. Cutrer and Bell I. Wiley as historians who have devoted their body of work to preserving the 'voices' of common Confederate soldiers and civilians.
