Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A renowned photographer and a Pura Belpré Honor-winning illustrator join forces for a playful and stylish picture book that's destined to make the world a better place, one word at a time.
Perfectly pitched to the youngest child, Alexi Lubomirski's whimsical text is a gentle reminder that words have power--the power to hurt or to heal, to make someone feel small or feel tall. Carlos Aponte's buoyant illustrations, in dazzling primary colors and bold black line, pair with a dynamic text design to create a visual symphony. An eye-catching appeal to our better natures, this inspired meditation on the purpose and power of words encourages children to choose them well--and use them wisely--to spread kindness, joy, and love.
"Words have power--the power to hurt or to heal, to make someone feel small or to make someone feel tall. Gorgeously illustrated with bright colors and bold lines, this gentle text encourages even the youngest readers to choose their words carefully and to use those words to make the world a better, more loving place."-- Front jacket flap.
