Harold Green III: Words Are My Superpower, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"From the moment children start learning how to talk, they're told over and over to "use your words." But using your words isn't just about asking for a toy or for something to drink; it's about communicating one's needs-emotionally, spiritually, and practically. Harold Green III's Words Are My Superpower offers practical advice for tweens on how to be more mindful of what they're trying to say and how the words they choose have the power to change not just their own lives but others'. Some of the greatest "villains" in our lives include anxiety, fear, disappointment, and failure. But if we look to language as a way to empower ourselves-thanks to affirmations, mantras, compliments, and more-we can defeat anything that stands in our way while lifting up those around us. Green expertly weaves a metaphor about categories of words acting as superheroes throughout this guide to help readers harness the superpowers offered by optimism, gratitude, and more. Infused with Green's gorgeous poetry and Andrea Pippins's eye-catching illustrations, Words Are My Superpower teaches the importance of positive thinking and communication for young people to effect change"--
