Synopsis

In the book, we follow two good friends who have a playdate in a playground. Through play, imagination and conversation, the two children move through some of the many big words in our language and attempt to describe and explain how they understand each of the word. Some of the words covered are “friendship”, “courage” and “imagination”.

Every page in the book concerns a specific word, with questions and explanations which are meant to spark conversation between the child and the adult. The book also contains illustration sequences that make it suitable for dialogical reading, and it is meant to help develop the linguistic skills of the child along the way. In this way, the curiosity of the child is stimulated, so that he or she actively considers the content of the book and is encouraged to philosophise about the concepts of the book together with an adult.
