Overview

Words are powerful-but they work best when everyone understands them. Kalynn loves learning new words. Big words. Fancy words. Words that sound smart and impressive. Soon, she's using them everywhere-at school, at home, and even with her sister Kimika. There's just one problem... no one knows what she's talking about. When Kalynn's made-up and misused words start confusing her classmates-and embarrassing Kimika-the sisters find themselves at odds. Kimika teases. Kalynn feels misunderstood. And a simple conversation turns into hurt feelings. With help from Mom and Dad, the sisters learn that words aren't meant to impress people-they're meant to connect us. Clear communication, listening, and kindness matter more than sounding smart. This playful, thoughtful story helps young readers understand how language shapes relationships-and how using the right words can bring people closer together.
