The Boy Who Loved Words

About this item

In this Parents' Choice Gold Award--winning book, Selig collects words, ones that stir his heart ( Mama !) and ones that make him laugh ( giggle ). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem ( lozenge , lemon , and licorice ), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle , disburse , and broadcast them to people in need.
