"Readers will fall in love with the power of words in this delightful offering by Davis-Gibbon (author of My Old Friend, Then) that explores how we use words to communicate, express emotions, and interact with the world around us."

—BookLife Reviews/Publishers Weekly

"An encouraging, inspiring introduction to the power and wonder of words."

"... the delight will lie in the hunt for the worlds. Any child who has just learned the alphabet will surely get a kick out of discovering words hidden in bushes or the limbs of passing dogs .... More than anything else, though, it's the urge to think and perceive the world as it is that truly elevates this story above the merely engaging. There is little not to like about the book."

—Indie Reader

"... with empathy and humor, Katherine Davis-Gibbon's picture book Words is about trusting language to be there when one needs it."

—Foreword Clarion Reviews

—The Children's Book Review

"This book sings itself with a positive, encouraging luminosity."

—The US Review of Books
