More Than Words by Roz MacLean

A picture book about the different ways we can communicate.

A picture book about the different ways we can communicate

A picture book showing a boy staring up at colourful lights in the sky.

Nathan doesn't say much.
He sure has a lot on his mind, though.


At school, Nathan quietly observes the ways his peers communicate. Even when they're not talking, they're expressing themselves in all sorts of ways!

By witnessing the beauty of communication diversity, Nathan learns and shows his classmates the essential lesson: not only does everyone have something to say, but seeking to understand one another can be the greatest bridge to friendship and belonging.

This tender, stunningly illustrated picture book explores and celebrates the many forms of expressionsigning, speaking, singing, smiling, among others and culminates in a poignant story about connection and understanding. (FromHenry Holt & Co)
