# The Little Book of Words That Matter: 100 Words for Every Child to Understand - Hardcover

by **Joanne Ruelos Diaz** (Author), **Annelies Draws** (Illustrator)

**Joanne****Ruelos Diaz's** **_The_****_Little Book of Words That Matter_ is an inclusive collection of 100 words that introduces young children to complex concepts--from managing big feelings to celebrating our differences.**

Adopting the same format and approach as the popular _The Little Book of Joy_, this pocket-size book features a collection of words to teach children about the world we live in and how to navigate their way through it.

Each page offers a word and age-appropriate definition, along with a related activity, resource, or mindful prompt, beautifully illustrated by Instagram star Annelies Draws. The book is split into four chapters that each includes relevant words: Feelings Matter (Afraid, Frustrated, Proud); You Matter (Authentic, Consent, Resilience); Differences Matter (Disability, Equity, Race); and Changemakers Matter (Conservation, Feminism, Teamwork).

Featuring a how-to guide for adults at the back of the book, this inclusive resource is the perfect conversation starter for families and will empower children of all ages.
