Words Have Power (Paperback)

An old children's rhyme states: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." However, there are many instances where children and adults are consistently assaulted with words that generate fear and low self-esteem, causing long-lasting effects.

"Words Have Power" is a poetic picture book that illustrates why words matter and how they can make children feel. It is an excellent visual reminder for everyone to speak kindly.

Authors Norma G. Jackson and Jo Anne Meekins encourage children, parents, and the world to choose words that build up, instead of words that tear down. They hope parents, educators, and mentors use "Words Have Power" to teach children to know the difference and make the right choice.
