'A dazzling and delightful introduction to the joy of language' – Tessa Duder, award-winning author of Alex.

Emma's new baby brother James was very nearly perfect, from his velvety head to his wiggly toes.

She just wished he could talk.

'I am going to help you find your words,' she told him.

But there were too many words to gather them all. So, she decided to bring him only the very best ones.

From debut writer Erin Munro and teacher/illustrator Sarah Trolle comes a celebration of language and sibling love. The Very Best Words is a classic in the making.
