GlobePRwire
New York United States In a world where children encounter countless messages every day, the words they hear at home carry extraordinary weight. What if those words could actively build a foundation of unshakeable self-worth, courage, and joy? Author and veteran educator Kelly D. Culver brings this vision to life with her newly released picture book, Words Are Powerful: Blessings For Your Little One. This beautiful work transforms story time into a nurturing ritual of positive affirmation, designed to help children internalize their value and potential from their earliest years.
The book delivers a simple yet profound core message: words shape reality. Through gentle, repeating affirmations like “You are loved,” “You are brave,” and “You are light,” the text seeks to surround both child and reader in an environment of intentional positivity. The book operates on the belief that the language caregivers use does not just teach children to speak, but teaches them how to feel about themselves. It turns reading into an act of emotional connection and mental building.
Words Are Powerful speaks directly to a broad and caring audience. It is an essential resource for parents, grandparents, and caregivers who wish to be proactive in nurturing their child’s emotional health. Educators and child therapists will also find it a valuable tool for fostering self-esteem and social-emotional learning in young children. The book serves as a perfect gift for baby showers, birthdays, and christenings, offering a timeless present that supports a child’s development for years to come.
Kelly Culver’s writing style reflects her 25 years of experience in a first-grade classroom. It is warm, accessible, and intentionally repetitive. She understands the rhythm that captivates young listeners and the power of simplicity. Her prose feels like a loving conversation, blending a teacher’s insight with a caregiver’s heart to create pages that are as easy to embrace as they are to read aloud.
The book features soft, engaging illustrations that complement its calming affirmations. Each page invites a moment of pause and connection, making it ideal for bedtime, quiet time, or any moment that calls for a boost of love and reassurance. Culver has crafted more than a story; she has created an experience, a portable sanctuary of positivity for families.
Words Are Powerful: Blessings For Your Little One is now available for purchase. Families can find the book on Amazon, at all major online book retailers, and in select brick-and-mortar bookstores.
