Pages 6 & 7: Luna was an extraordinary little girl. She lived high, high up in the sky. Pages 8 & 9: And she had a very strange pastime. Pages 10 & 11: Luna collected words just like other people collected stamps: funny words, that tickle your palate when you say them, words so beautiful that they make you cry, friendly words that embrace your soul. Pages 12 & 13: Magic words, delicious words, long and short words, funny words, crazy words, magnificent words, little words, humble words, serious words ...
Luna loves words. She loves their glow, and laughs when they tickle her. But one day she realizes that, little by little, all of the funny, beautiful and magnificent words are disappearing from the world—and the little girl decides that it’s time to do something about it! A poetic tale about the magic of words and the power of positive words. The Word Collector invites readers of all ages to enjoy this wonderful story in a fun, original way.
