<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A timeless tale about the power of words.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Build or destroy? How will you impact others today?</strong></p><p>In this emotional and highly visual picture book, a lonely letter sets off on a journey to find meaning. As it encounters various letter combinations, it is confronted by two distinct paths and must make an important choice. Readers of all ages will be captivated by this simple, yet high concept, rich story that explores universal themes of discovery, relationships and the need to belong, with an underlying message about bullying and diversity. Both timeless and original, Words is an evocative tale about how letters become words and words create meaning - meaning which could ultimately build or destroy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Some time ago, I was working in a Toronto-area school, providing teachers demonstration lessons on reading and writing practices. As I walked into one of the Grade 3 classrooms, something immediately caught my eye. There, in the front of the room, stood the picture book WORDS. I took a moment to speak with the teacher about my connection with the book's author, Lora Rozler. She shared that it was one of the most powerful books she had ever read - and I could not agree with her more.</p><br></p>In my career as a teacher, author and literacy consultant, I have read a lot of children's books - a lot. I use many in my classroom and recommend countless stories to teachers at workshops. I've found through my extensive experience with children's books that some stand out more than others; some for their beautiful illustrations, some make great read-alouds and others are perfect <i>connecting</i> books. Occasionally, I read a book that I refer to as <i>transforming</i> - a book that immediately takes up permanent residence in my heart and mind. Lora Rozler's WORDS is one of those books. It is quiet. It is important.</p><br></p>Every child, teacher, parent and school principal should read it and discover its universal message about belonging and bullying. It is a book that will stimulate rich, thoughtful, honest discussions about the words we choose to say and the impact on those we say them to. Words can hurt or heal, they can craft or hate. It is as simple and powerful as that.</p><br></p>I am enormously grateful to her for gifting us with her WORDS.</p><br></p>Adrienne Gear</p><br>
