| 520 | |a "This illustrated nonfiction picture book explores the meaning and origins of words and how they've evolved over the years. What is a word? Star Sailor uncovers the mystery of words, how they make a language and why humans need them to communicate with the world around them. Become a word detective and examine the meaning, origin and future of words. Humans need words to communicate, whether they are spoken, written, signed or even sung. But what exactly is a word? And why does the way we use words continue to change? The English language has morphed, melted and remade itself since its beginning. From imitating the sounds of the world to squishing two words together to describe something unique, words on their own and strung together are capable of expressing many meanings. Star Sailor, The Story of Words ventures into the history of how language came to be and explores the ways words reveal a whole new impression of the world around us."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
