He also finds the simplest words to be incredibly effective in uniting people. The book itself gains the reader's attention using simplistic illustrations, colorful pages Lots and lots of words. You never know which one will help you make it through the day. A definite must-read! Feb 16, Jillian rated it liked it. I really loved the beginning of this book - and even the middle!

Get this kid a magnetic poetry set, stat! I love that he started stringing words together and making poetry and songs. But then It became much less a story about a "real" boy who liked to learn new words and more about an allegorical boy who changed the world, one word at a time.

But as written, it was a little jarring. View 1 comment. Such a wonderful and great book, a perfect illustrations of the power of words It was so beautiful. I just can't ignore the reading done by Obamas. Read by Barack and Michelle Obama.
