There's a Hair in My Dirt!: A Worm's Story is a short illustrated story of an earthworm who feels his life is insignificant. The main plot is told by the young worm's father and follows a beautiful (but slightly dim) maiden named Harriet, who takes a stroll across a woodland trail, encountering different aspects of the natural world. She admires it, but knows little about the land around her, and that eventually leads to her downfall. The story ends when the young worm realizes that the hair in his dirt is actually a "Harriet" (a hair from the long dead Harriet's body). The story became a New York Times bestseller on May 24, 1998.
