What Are Words, Really?

By Alexi Lubomirski

Book Overview

A renowned photographer and a Pura Belpr? 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.
