—Publishers Weekly, Fall 2022 Children's Sneak Previews
Henry and his mother plan a special day together, which includes going to the Chinese market. But there they overhear someone calling them a strange name: "banana." Henry doesn't understand. A banana is just a piece of fruit. What's the big deal? And what does the name even mean?
From debut author Lisa Chong and illustrator Kaitlin Yang, When Words Have Power reveals the powerful effect microaggressions and name calling can have and instead shows young readers how a little kindness and respect can lead to new friendships and stronger relationships with loved ones.
