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.
