Words

Welcome to Words by Katherine Davis-Gibbon Book Tour hosted by The Children’s Book Review. 

About the Book

A multicultural group of children discovers a park where everyone’s words come to life, looking and behaving a lot like kids. Some words are kinder and more inviting, while others are pushy or prickly or odd. Not every word makes the best first impression, but as they play and share adventures, the children connect more deeply with language. They learn that words have superpowers and grow to love them for their quirks. They see that words make excellent friends, who magically appear just as they’re needed and perfectly mirror how kids feel. The more these children bond with language, the more they tap into their inner voice— and as they dare to give it expression, they gain more respect for the power of words.

Review of Words

Set in the park, this book incorporates words into objects. Such a fun way to present the purpose of the book. These great illustrations help to find the beauty of words and helped to earn the 4th star. The text delivers the power of these words; sometimes they hurt, and sometimes they heal. And sometimes they describe an embarrassing moment.
