Yoto Says: Some kids collect rocks or stickers—Jerome collects words. All kinds! Big, small, silly, sweet. This one’s a celebration of how words help us connect, share what we feel, and maybe even change the world.

A New York Times Bestseller. Named an Outstanding Literary Work for Children by the NAACP. Some people collect stamps. Some people collect coins. Some people collect art. And Jerome? Jerome collected words. In this extraordinary new tale from Peter H. Reynolds, Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him—short and sweet words, two-syllable treats, and multisyllabic words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower. From the creator of The Dot, I Am Human, and Happy Dreamer comes a celebration of finding your own words—and the impact you can have when you share them with the world.

David Y. ★★★★★

The audio quality is crisp and clear, and the narrator’s voice really brings Jerome’s word-collecting journey to life. My son asked to play it three times in a row, which says everything about how engaging the story feels. A lovely pick for any family library.

Evelyn W. ★★★★★

My daughter is a quiet kid and this story about Jerome collecting words really spoke to her—she actually paused the card to repeat some of the silly ones out loud. The narration is warm and kept her engaged the whole way through, and it's sparked some lovely chats about how we use words to share fee

Charlotte ★★★★★

My kids have listened to this card on repeat since it arrived—they’re now walking around shouting “serendipity!” after hearing Jerome collect all kinds of words, big and silly. It’s such a sweet, simple way to get them excited about language and sharing feelings.
