Bookroo's summary

Donavan Allen loves collecting words, storing them in his cherished word jar. But when the jar fills up, he faces a dilemma: how to keep adding words without losing any? A visit to his grandma might just hold the answer. Can Donavan find a way to preserve his beloved collection and continue his passion for words? Discover the surprising solution in this heartwarming tale about the power and joy of language.

From the publisher

The classic story about the power of words. Donavan Allen doesn’t collect coins, comics, or trading cards like most kids. He collects words–big words, little words, soft words, and silly words. Whenever Donavan finds a new word, he writes it on a slip of paper and puts it in his word jar.But one day, Donavan discovers that his word jar is full. He can’t put any new words in without taking some of the old words out–and he wants to keep all his words. Donavan doesn’t know what to do, until a visit to his grandma provides him with the perfect solution.
