A Powerful One Little Word

One Little Word was written by Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Allison Colpoy.

A picture book for children 3 years and up, “One Little Word” follows two best friends playing at a park. After an incident happens between the friends they go their separate ways. That gives a monster a chance to appear and you see the monster in the beautiful illustrations take over the playground.

Now the friends have a monster at the park with them, that keeps growing with every negative interaction between the two children. With every moment that continues to pass between them, the monster gets bigger, it doesn’t even fit in the playground. Until the children come together and exchange one little word that starts shrinking the monster.

Book Review

One Little Word is perfect for young children, the illustrations relay the story visually for those too young to read. And, the words of Coelho are lyrical and make for a great read-a-loud book. Children will be curious to find out how those two best friends ended up making the monster at the playground disappear. Share the importance of apologizing and forgiveness with this children’s book. A great way to discuss emotions for young minds in a soft manner that will still reach and impact them.
