This book poetically and gently tells the story of the origin, evolution, and impact of language from the perspective of a first person, skillfully showing the many ways in which words and language shape our lives, culture, and perceptions, including cell phone messages, Braille buttons in elevators, and endangered languages at risk of extinction, to help children learn about linguistic and cultural diversity, cultivate empathy, and broaden their view of the world.
