MORE THAN WORDS by Roz MacLean
HARDCOVER
Author & Illustrator: Roz MacLean
We all have something to say - sometimes we just say it in different ways. Nathan doesn’t speak much, but that doesn’t mean he’s quiet inside. He notices everything; the laughter, the gestures, the songs, the signs.
At school, Nathan watches how each of his classmates communicates in their own unique way. Some talk with their hands, some sing, some smile, and all are sharing who they are. As Nathan learns (and teaches others) the greatest bridge to friendship and belonging isn’t the words we say, but the care with which we listen.
MORE THAN WORDS celebrates the many beautiful ways people express themselves and connect. From sign language to laughter, from silence to song, this picture book gently shows that real understanding begins with empathy and listening. Perfect for ages 5 upwards, this inspiring story opens conversations about communication, inclusion, and the power of seeing one another just as we are.
