Based on a true story from Archbishop Desmond Tutu's childhood in
South Africa, "Desmond and the Very Mean Word" reveals the power of
words and the secret of forgiveness.
When Desmond takes his new bicycle out for a ride through his
neighborhood, his pride and joy turn to hurt and anger when a group
of boys shout a very mean word at him. He first responds by
shouting an insult, but soon discovers that fighting back with mean
words doesn't make him feel any better. With the help of kindly
Father Trevor, Desmond comes to understand his conflicted feelings
and see that all people deserve compassion, whether or not they say
they are sorry. Brought to vivid life in A. G. Ford's energetic
illustrations, this heartfelt, relatable story conveys timeless
wisdom about how to handle bullying and angry feelings, while
seeing the good in everyone.
