With gentleness and empathy, this beautiful story follows a young
boy as he learns how a word that may seem funny to one person can
be hurtful to another. "When Words Have Power. . . follows a boy as
he learns how a word that may seem funny to one person can be
hurtful to another." -Publishers Weekly, Fall Children's
Announcements Henry overhears someone calling his Chinese American
mother a strange name at the market: "banana." But Henry doesn't
understand. A banana is just a piece of fruit. What's the big deal?
And what does the name mean? With beautiful illustrations, When
Words Have Power gently reveals the powerful effect
microaggressions and name calling can have, and instead shows how a
little kindness and respect can lead to bright, new friendships and
stronger relationships with loved ones.
A brave tractor farms for freedom in a story inspired by women who
acted with courage and strength in American factories and on
British farms during World War II. This is our Rosie, stronger than
steel. She’ll plow all the land with a turn of her wheel. Built
by women in the United States and sent to England to dig and plow
alongside female farmers during World War II, Rosie the tractor
does whatever is needed to support the war effort. She works day
and night to help grow crops for the troops…even when she has to
hide in the fields. This is because she knows, like the women who
built her and the women who farm with her, that they all must do
their part. Inspired by the group of American women collectively
known as “Rosie the Riveter” and the British Women’s Land
Army, this is a story about taking action and coming together for
the greater good.
