Words with a taste

Amera’s conflict begins with a ruined cupcake and hurtful words exchanged with her best friend. At home, her mother’s invitation to “taste her words” turns the consequences of unkind speech into a child-friendly sensory idea: Amera imagines mean words as rotten eggs, spoiled milk, and lemons. The story links a difficult mood with the way words affect both the speaker and the people around them, then follows Amera toward choosing kinder language. Its picture-book format and concrete central metaphor make the subject of thoughtful speech approachable for young children and open a natural conversation about handling hurt feelings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring kindness and manners
  • Families seeking a picture book to discuss thoughtful speech
  • Young children who respond to concrete, imaginative metaphors

Book overview

Amera's having a bad day. Her best friend ruined her cupcake and they both said mean things. When Amera brings her bad mood home with her, her mom tells her to "taste her words." Amera's mean words taste like rotten eggs, spoiled milk, and lemons! As Amera realizes that her mean words make her feel bad and others feel worse, she starts saying the kindest, sweetest words she can find.

This picture book is an excellent resource for parents who want to teach their kids to think before they speak. With humorous text and lively illustrations, Clark and Bright make it easy for even the youngest children to understand the power of their words.
