Book overview

Get ready for an intergalactic adventure exploring the depths of empathy, love, and understanding! When Buddy's friend is returning to school after being in the hospital, he wants to find the perfect words to make her feel better.

Through the magic of his imagination, he journeys through outer space in search of what to say. After a series of heartwarming experiences and out-of-this-world encounters, he overcomes obstacles and discovers ways to express love and friendship through helping, spending time together, loving touch, and giving.

BeyondWords empowers readers of all ages to be kind, loving, and compassionate with themselves and others. Kids will learn coping and comforting skills, as well as ways to take action to help friends and communicate love and support beyond words.

Inspired by the overwhelming response to its My Special Aflac Duck&reg program supporting children with cancer and sickle cell disease, Beyond Words is Aflac's newest message of love and compassion, with 100 percent of the net proceeds from this book going to childhood cancer and sickle cell disease research and treatment.
