We can use our hands for saying hello, drawing, playing, etc. It tells the reader that “hands are not for hitting. Hands are also for saying goodbye. In “Words Are Not For Hurting”, with gentle encouragement, the book guides children to think before speaking, to choose words that are helpful instead of hurtful, and to say I’m sorry when hurtful words come out before kids can stop them. Author Verdick focuses on what germs are in the book “Germs Are Not for Sharing”. This book teaches the basics of not spreading them: Cover up a sneeze or cough. Hug or blow kisses when you’re sick.
