The Word Collector is a book by Peter H. Reynolds.
Some people collect stamps.
Some people collect coins.
Some people collect art.
And Jerome?
Jerome collects words...
Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him — short and sweet words, two-syllable treats, and multisyllable words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower.
It’s not until his words get lost and scattered that he begins to recognize that they are pieces of a much larger puzzle. He realizes that words can be strung together to create meaning much greater than they have on their own.
Words are the greatest bridge-builders — they transcend age, gender, ability, and distance.
The Word Collector trailer
Jerome creates poetry and songs that delight all who listen, encourage, and motivate people all around him, and even show affection for his furry friends. He begins to fill in the lines of his own story with healing words, loving words, and uplifting words.
Words are the tools through which we build the story of our life.
