The Word Collector

The book tells the delightful story of Jerome, a boy who loves words. He collects words that he hears, sees, and reads and writes them in his scrapbook. As he gets older, his collection grows and he starts to see the amazing power of words. He discovers that even a simple word can change the world, and he begins sharing his words with others. 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. From the creator of The Dot and Happy Dreamer comes a celebration of finding your own words—and the impact you can have when you share them with the world.
