ABOUT THE BOOK
Words
Written by Katherine Davis-Gibbon
Illustrated by Anne Berry
Ages: 4-6 | 36 Pages
Publisher: Riverlet Press (2025) | ISBN: 978-1-737957690
Publisher’s Book Summary: 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.

MY REVIEW
Words is such an incredible and fun-to-read children’s book that I absolutely fell in love with upon reading, specially because of the fun and super colorful illustrations found throughout. The illustrations totally make this book the amazing read that it is and not only is it a beautiful to look at while reading but it’s also a super fun book to read too. I always enjoy reading aloud with my kids and this book is perfection for that. My youngest one enjoys reading this one before bed time and it is the perfect addition to her book collection too. She loves looking at the beautiful pictures found throughout and reading the various characters made out of letters to create fun words and it has become her go-to for reading right now. This book makes the ultimate gift for any child on your gift giving list and I will be grabbing a copy or two for my God daughter and my niece as I know they will enjoy this one too.
