Words are the windows through which children view the world. Familiar, uncommon, short and sweet, long and quirky; words make all the difference.
In Word Up, discover how a word packs a punch and possesses the power to heal, hurt, help, and humble. Watch children learn how to choose words wisely, and to recognize that sometimes, the simplicity of kindness itself is expressed in gentle silence.
Read an Excerpt
Words are mighty!
Words are strong!
We write them,
Speak them,
Sing our song.
I hope you learn new words today,
And think about the ones you say.

Review: Enter into an explosive, fun-filled world of words! See what they mean and how they relate to kids’ lives. See words like BOOM, CRASH, DAZZLE, and GIGGLE.
Loved the wacky and colorful illustrations! They reminded me of the cartoon, “Hey, Arnold!” This is a wonderful way for kids to see and learn words. Such a fantastic read!
