Ah what a wonderful book!
My 5 years son is currently in the stage of knowing bad and mean words. He mostly knows that those words are bad and mean, but sometimes he doesn't know that one bad word could hurt others. This book perfectly relies that message. The idea of words have colors is amazingly easy to understand, at least for my son. He could follow the storyline given by this book and the messages behind it. We (my son and I) discussed many things because of this book. This book indirectly made my son more empathetic to others. With this book, my son concluded that not only we need to always say something nice, but we sometimes need to not listen to what others say about us if they make us sad.
The illustrations were so good. Fit the story and the messages this book try to deliver. Vibrant with colors but also convey the soothing effect.
Thank you to Krista Legge, illust. Leila Nabih, Clavis Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC.
