More Than Words

So Many Ways to Say What We Mean

cover of More than words: So Many Ways to say what we mean. A young black boy with short hair wearing a red rain jacket and blue rain boots crouches by a puddle holding a yellow shovel. He looks up at colourful bird song from a small bird perched on a tree nearby. The song is a fiery multicoloured shape in pinks, oranges yellow and blues. The background is dark blues and greens with a glow around the boy.

In the tradition of All Are Welcome and The Day You Begin comes a touching picture book about the many unique ways we communicate, and how we can better listen to and respect these different modes of expression. 

Nathan doesn’t say much. 
He sure has a lot on his mind, though.


At school, Nathan quietly observes the ways his peers communicate. Even when they’re not talking, they’re expressing themselves in all sorts of ways! 

By witnessing the beauty of communication diversity, Nathan learns and shows his classmates the essential lesson: Not only does everyone have something to say, but seeking to understand one another can be the greatest bridge to friendship and belonging.
