Schotter, Roni.

The boy who loved words / by Roni Schotter ; pictures by Giselle Potter. - 1st ed. - New York : Schwartz & Wade Books, 2006. - 1 v. (unpaged.) ; col. ill. : 26 cm.

Selig, who loves words and copies them on pieces of paper that he carries with him, goes on a trip to discover his purpose. Words. Selig collects them, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle, disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.
