AlbakiReads Editorial

A collection of words to share

Jerome’s interest in collecting words gives this picture book a simple way to explore how language can connect people and shape what they express. The description moves from words gathered for their sounds and lengths to the broader effects words can have when shared. Its central idea is accessible to young children: words are not just items to collect, but ways to communicate and make an impact.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring words and language
  • Families and educators looking for a picture book about communication and self-expression

Book overview

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.

 

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 multisyllable words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower.
