This playful journey reveals how language bridges gaps, empowering even the smallest voices. As children embrace these words, they find that communication isn't daunting but a delightful adventure. Will they master the art of big words and connect with those around them? Join this vibrant family and uncover the fun and power of language.

"I know some Big Words. I'll teach them to you. Although you are small, you can use Big Words too."

— from the book

From the publisher

The eighth hilarious picture book by the #1 New York Times bestselling team of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell helps little people communicate in a big person’s world.

With grown-up words like cooperate, respect, patience, and considerate, a large, boisterous family celebrates the power of language and discovers that words—big or little—are the bridge that connects us all.

I know some Big Words.

I’ll teach them to you.

Although you are small,

you can use Big Words too.

Big Words aren’t scary.

They’re big fun to learn.

I was taught once

and now it’s your turn.
