THE GIFT OF WORDS A Holiday Book

Author and narrator Peter H. Reynolds delights with his warm and lively performance of this inspiring holiday story. Jerome sets out to collect holiday words filled with hope and joy to give to family and friends. But throughout his search he encounters words that are loud and sharp, and that leave him feeling cold and empty. So he decides to use his own carefully curated collection. Musical accompaniment and animated voices enrich this delightful story. Sound effects for Jerome's dog, Echo and the enhanced page-turn sounds of the read-along version add to the festive mood of this joyful audiobook. The story highlights the importance of meaningful words, along with the values of kindness, goodwill, and peace. This Christmas story is worth listening to year-round. M.F.
