He sets off but by the end of the day he is so weary, and his pockets so full of words, that he must stop to rest. He decides to put his collected words in the branches of the tree where he plans to sleep that night. During the night, a poet who is struggling for words stands beneath the tree and like magic, the right words fall down out of the tree to him.

My favorite word is "moot". It fulfills all the necessary requirements of a favorite word. It is fun to say. It is fun to slip into a conversation. And when you pair it with the word "point" (as in "moot point") it becomes doubly amusing. I tell you all this because as much as I love my word, I never thought that I had collected it. I remembered it, sure, but collected? Who collects words? How would that even work? The answer comes in the form of Roni Schotter's newest picture book sensation, "The Boy Who Loved Words". A tribute to the beauty of words (to say nothing of the people who employ them) the book utilizes Schotter's storytelling and Giselle Potter's wholly recognizable style to tell the tale of a boy and his penchant for ear-pleasing assonance.

Now there once was a boy named Selig who had two dual loves. First of all, he loved words. He loved how they sounded in his ears and fell off the tongue. Second, he loved collecting. And what better to collect than the thing you love best? Problem was, Selig started getting bogged down by the sheer weight of the words he carried with him. One day, after receiving a dream telling him to find his purpose in life, Selig goes off into the world. He hasn't gone far before he starts pinning the words in his pack onto the branches of the nearest tree. Before long a poet stops by and through sheer accident happen to pluck exactly the word he needs from the wind-swept tree's branches. Suddenly, Selig knows what he was born to do. What good are words if they sit around unused? By lobbing the right words in the right direction, Selig is able to improve the fortune of others. And by locating a gal with as great a gift for music as he has for syllables, Selig is perfectly content thereafter.

Can I be forgiven for thinking this book was a non-fiction biography when I first picked it up? It kind of looks like one, doesn't it? Even after reading a couple of pages I was convinced that this book was some kind of picture book retelling of a real poet's life. Yeah, not so much. Schotter, best known before now to my mind for, "Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street" has tapped into an interesting idea here. Words. The playthings of poets, writers, and critics alike. I'll confess that this book can be seen as an acquired taste. Some kids will need to take some time so as to fully understand what it is that Schotter is saying here. As she deftly mixes a kind of magical realism with her otherwise realistic plotline, "The Boy Who Loves Words", is going to resonate best with those kids that already understand how cool words can be. They'll be the ones who flip to the back of the book and devour greedily the Glossary of Selig's favorite words sitting there. The story is certainly amusing, but unless the reader has a clear sense of how cool words can be, it may well fly over their heads.

Giselle Potter was an ideal illustrator to pair with Schotter on this tale. Once you've seen Potter's work, you don't forget it. Moreover, she's a perfect complement to the author's gentle loonyness. The words in this book are actual printed scraps that float and fly around Selig's head like so many beautiful butterflies, just begging to be caught. I was more than a little intrigued by the Rabbi genie that appears to Selig in a dream. Scotter and Potter (saying their names together fast) between them have placed this book in a kind of Lower East Side New York (or perhaps it's Brooklyn). If Selig is Jewish then of course the genie would be speaking with a Yiddish accent. I don't know exactly when or where the book is taking place, but wherever it is it makes for an enjoyable ride.

Though not a book for everyone, "The Boy Who Loved Words" is a contemporary up-and-coming writer title. Which is to say, future wordsmiths will find comfort in Selig's tale and maybe be convinced to start collecting their own eclectic terms. In Selig's own vocabulary you can label this book savory, full of gusto, truly luscious, and tremendously spry.

What is so funny to me is your comment that Giselle Potter is the ideal illustrator to pair with this work, because recently in my follow-up to weird-ass picture books I noted that she was absolutely the WRONG illustrator for Sleeping Bobby. Her art is not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate it with the right book. It sounds like it was a good fit here, but for my vote, an odd fit with a story about beautiful people, like the story of Sleeping Beauty. But, you know, that is who the authors had for all their picture books, so I guess they couldn't sneak that one by her.

I know exactly what you mean. Frankly, she isn't my favorite illustrator either. Her people all look angry to me. But I can appreciate how well she works in the context of the right picture book. In this case, very well indeed.

Khuku could not stop reading books. The words in them opened up windows for her to explore worlds way beyond her home in Dhaka which was then part of undivided Bengal. They lit up her dreams and became knives. They could be used to cut deep into her thereby hurting her. Read the incredible story of how Khuku went on to become the writer and human rights activist that the world came to know her as when she grew up.

\u201CThe Girl Who Loved Words : Mahasweta Devi\u201D by Lavanya Karthik. Published by Duckbill. A power packed short biography of Khuku before she grew up and became known to the world as Mahasweta Devi, the writer and human rights activist.

The renowned Bangla writer Mahasweta Devi used her pen to write about the lives and injustices meted out to the tribal communities of India. Before she became a writer, she was a girl called Khuku who loved words and had made friends with them. The words attracted her and she would be lost looking at them in the newspapers. They seemed to call out to her from her parents\u2019 books. Khuku followed them delightedly as they danced and led the way for her.

My 8.5 year old and I enjoyed reading the book. It was amazing to know about Mahasweta Devi\u2019s childhood as we had already read some of our favourite books written by her such as \u201COur Incredible Cow\u201D and \u201CThe Why-Why Girl\u201D in the last two years several times. It was time for us to know more about her. Her passion, determination and perseverance to stand up and represent the unheard voice of suppressed tribal communities is commendable. The fact that she travelled herself to remote villages and lived with the people to understand their lives before writing their stories is amazing.

The illustrations are gorgeous and inspired the work of artist Chittaprosad Bhattacharya whose sketches and prints voiced the suffering of millions of people during the Bengal famine of 1943. This aspect gives a beautiful regional touch to the narrative. This book is part of the \u201CDreamers Series\u201D from Duckbill. We have enjoyed reading some of the other books from this series such as the ones on Teejan Bai , Satyajit Ray, R.K.Narayan & R.K.Laxman, Janaki Ammal, Dr. Salim Ali and Bachendri Pal. Looking forward to reading more from this amazing series which is one of our favourites! :)
