Words are powerful—but they work best when everyone understands them.
Kalynn loves learning new words. Big words. Fancy words. Words that sound smart and impressive. Soon, she’s using them everywhere—at school, at home, and even with her sister Kimika.
There’s just one problem… no one knows what she’s talking about.
When Kalynn’s made-up and misused words start confusing her classmates—and embarrassing Kimika—the sisters find themselves at odds. Kimika teases. Kalynn feels misunderstood. And a simple conversation turns into hurt feelings.
With help from Mom and Dad, the sisters learn that words aren’t meant to impress people—they’re meant to connect us. Clear communication, listening, and kindness matter more than sounding smart.
This playful, thoughtful story helps young readers understand how language shapes relationships—and how using the right words can bring people closer together.
