Jesse is excited about entering the second grade – she has both a new teacher her old friends Terry and Anne! This year, there is a new girl in class, Nia, and she and Jesse make friends right away. But there is something different about Nia, and Terry and Anne don’t like it. How can Jesse keep her old friends and her new one?
Wormhead is a wonderful, gentle story about accepting people as they are. Fear, suspicion and dislike are transformed by the simple act of talking, a reminder that is as important for adults as it is for children. Stella Mckeown’s tender images work flawlessly & Rich McKeown’s music blends perfectly to enrich this DVD. The soothing cadence of Zoelle Mongomery’s voice truly brings Wormhead to life. This project was beyond doubt a family affair! Carolyn McKeown, the author was Rich McKeown’s wife, Stella McKeown the artist his mother & Zoelle Maurer, the narrator, his aunt.
Wormhead has garnered the 2007 NAPPA Honors Award, the Parent’s Choice Award, The Dove Foundation “Family Approved” Seal, 2007 Aegis Film & production Award recipient and three-time “Best Animation” at the 2007 Texas Black Film Festival, the 2008 Memphis Black Writer’s Conference & Southern Film Fest and the 2008 Int’l Black Film Festival of Nashville. This DVD has also been featured at the 2006 Cannes Shorts Corner as well as over thirty five official film festival screenings. Clients include the United Federation of Teachers in New York, as well as the UFT Teacher Center arm, the largest local union in the United States
The late author Carolyn McKeown, has a delightful style, and demonstrates a respect for the rhythm of children in this story. Rich McKeown has dedicated this piece to her memory. Carolyn succumbed to breast cancer in January, 2003.
