Neal, Kate Jane Words and Your Heart. PICTURE BOOK. Feiwel
and Friends (Macmillan), 2017. $18. 9781250168726
This book is about your heart and how words can affect your
heart. Words have the power to injure and words have the power to lift up –so use
your words to bring joy to someone’s heart. It features simple black and white
and red illustrations.
This is a powerful and simple message for young readers. We
already had this book in my school library and it went out to multiple classrooms with a series
of lessons about how to be kind. I think so often we tell students to be
kind (honest, share, good friends, etc) but not teach them outright how to go
about accomplishing that. This book is part of the answer. The illustrations
are just perfect and it’s one of my favorite books this year.
