Review Detail

Between Words is about a boy who has never stayed long in a place and yearns to make friends but often faces a language barrier. This book explores how a shared smile, wave, and time together can start the road to becoming friends. Though few words are used the emotions of yearning, hope, frustration, and peaceful coexistence come through with the illustrations. This book invites readers to gain empathy and be willing to extend a hand in friendship to someone new. For an immigrant, this book shines a light on the experience and hopefully allows you a space to feel seen.
