Summary

More
Some words are nice while others are not. Each person owns his or her words and can choose what to say and how to say it. Perfect for reading aloud, this book reminds children to think before they speak and to consider how their words will make others feel.

But sometimes it can be hard to remember to say the right thing, and everyone makes mistakes. The book assures kids that when they say something they regret, there are two words that can make things better: "I'm sorry." Also included are simple strategies for dealing with teasing, as well as activities and discussion starters for parents and teachers.

It's no wonder this award-winning book is a perennial bestseller: it helps even very young children understand how powerful words can be.
