ABOUT

An ode to WORDS and their wondrous ways! With bold, colorful art, a jaunty rhyming text, and a glossy die-cut cover, this gift-worthy picture book is one to treasure.

What can words do?

Words are magic . . .

One in a bubble is a one-word sensation. Double a bubble and it's a conversation!

Words can transform us, make us laugh, bring us joy.

Words can hurt, too. Their power must be used with care.

Above all, words have the power to make things better. No matter how young you are, you and your words can make the world a sweeter place.

Words have power—and so do you.

For fans of In My Heart, The Dot, and You Matter, this bright, uplifting picture book buzzes with creativity and inspiration. The perfect graduation, birthday, or milestone gift for little ones with big voices.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
