Synopsis "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones but Words (Can Never) Hurt Me"

Ever heard the old adage "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me"? Well, we all know that's not strictly true... This story explores why we should always choose our words carefully! We all know that sticks and stones can hurt someone, but what about words? Whether it's a comment about someone's hairstyle or their smelly lunch, we've all had the experience of accidentally hurting someone's feelings. It can be a tricky life lesson how to resolve this situation, and realising that changing your choice of words can make all the difference. Sometimes old sayings are worth questioning. Beloved children's author and illustrator Heath McKenzie has created this funny and approachable book that will resonate with children of all ages. Also in the LIFE LESSONS series: You Don't Have to Like It, You Just Have to Eat it; Money Doesn't Grow on Trees; You Get What You Get and You Don't Get Upset; and Try Your Best, Forget the Rest
