Fighting Words

The award-winning author of Abuelita and Me explores the power of language in this energetic, imaginative picture book that takes readers on a wild word chase. When Alis cousin rips his favorite book, angry words explode out of him. The words are so angry, they come to life! They tease Ama, wreak havoc on their abuelitas home, and crash through the neighborhood. Ali didnt mean to hurt anyone, but now that the words are on the loose, its up to him to catch themand to repair the damage theyve done. Acclaimed illustrator Erika Medina brings Alis word monsters to life in this fun and fast-paced exploration of anger, accountability, and resolving conflict.
