It takes just 24 letters to create millions of words. Some are short, some are long, some express kindness, others do not. As children grow, they learn more words. And they use them. But among them are words that can hurt.
With the help of this book, children learn that words belong to them, that before they speak, they can think and then choose what to say and how to say it. They will discover that there are simple, positive ways to respond when others say hurtful things to them. They will realize the power of the word 'sorry' when their own words hurt someone else.
The texts are simple and short so they can be read aloud by a child, a group, or a class. The charming illustrations and the directness of the phrases guide children in adopting basic rules of good behavior.
At the end of the book, adults will find discussion topics and activities that children can engage in.
