A rhyming story of kindness, empathy, and staying true to yourself, The Word Nerd will build vocabulary and compassion while showing readers that words have power and that lending a helping hand can truly move mountains. Dotted with figures of speech and an abundance of captivating words, this book will get your neurons firing and will have every member of the family excited about joyfully expanding their vocabularies.

This is Pierce’s fourth Nautilus Book Award. Her other award-winning children’s titles include Mayva O’Meere, Creationeer (2018), The Sweet Dreams Express: A Meditative Bedtime Journey (2020), and Hazel Mist, Hypnotist (2020).
