Yoto Says: Some kids collect rocks or stickers—Jerome collects words. All kinds! Big, small, silly, sweet. This one’s a celebration of how words help us connect, share what we feel, and maybe even change the world.
A New York Times Bestseller. Named an Outstanding Literary Work for Children by the NAACP. Some people collect stamps. Some people collect coins. Some people collect art. And Jerome? Jerome collected words. In this extraordinary new tale from Peter H. Reynolds, Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him—short and sweet words, two-syllable treats, and multisyllabic words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower. From the creator of The Dot, I Am Human, and Happy Dreamer comes a celebration of finding your own words—and the impact you can have when you share them with the world.
