From award-winning author and spoken-word artist Harold Green III, a reminder of the power of language and an inspiring guide to “using our words” to effect the change we want to see—and be—in the world.

Harold Green III’s Words Are My Superpower offers practical advice for younger readers on how the words they choose have the power to change not just their own lives but others’. Some of the greatest “villains” in our lives include anxiety, fear, disappointment, and failure. But if we empower ourselves through language—employing affirmations, mantras, compliments, and more—we can overcome anything or anyone who stands in our way while lifting up those around us. Green expertly weaves a metaphor about categories of words acting as superheroes throughout this guide to help readers harness the superpowers offered by optimism, gratitude, and more. Infused with Green’s gorgeous poetry and Andrea Pippins’s eye-catching illustrations, Words Are My Superpower teaches the importance of positive thinking and communication for young people to effect change.

Genre:

  • “The metaphorical framework of superpowers not only engages young readers but also instills a sense of agency, encouraging them to harness the power of language to shape their emotional landscapes. As they journey through the pages, readers are not only guided through the intricacies of their feelings but also empowered to rise above them, armed with the strength of words…a vital resource for tweens and teens embarking on the tumultuous journey of self-discovery.”
