"Once Upon a Word makes learning new words fun and efficient. Jess
Zafarris has written a book that is accessible to kids and
educational enough for adults. Every parent and educator should
keep a copy for engaged minds on hand." --Jordan Rosenfeld, author
of How to Write a Page Turner
"As kids flip through this book, they'll feel like they're decoding
secret messages from the past. This book teaches an important
lesson: by understanding language we can better understand each
other and the world around us. I love that." --Aubre Andrus,
award-winning children's book author
"This thorough and visually delightful book is a yellow-brick road
paved with 'a-ha!' moments. It is written in an engaging style that
will open the door wide for young minds to enter the magical world
where language meets history. I expect it will inspire many of them
to a lifetime of discovery in an overlooked field." --Douglas
Harper, etymonline.com
