words.

Some books have everything a reader or listener could ask for in a story and more. The Boy Who Loved Words, written by Roni Schotter, with illustrations by Giselle Potter, is one of them. Selig's story has a touch of tragedy, a bit of comedy, a smidegen of conflict, and sigh, true love when soul mates connect. And loads of lovely, lovely words. Don't miss it!

Roxanne: So why did you say those things?
{C.D.: Tell her you were afraid.}
Chris:- Because I was afraid.
Roxanne:- Of me? Afraid of what?
{C.D.: Tell her you were afraid of words.}
{Chris:- What?}
{C.D.:- Words.}
Chris: Because I was afraid of worms, Roxanne!
Roxanne: Worms!? What are you saying to me?
