In If You Run Out of Words, an imaginative bedtime adventure from award-winning artist Felicita Sala, a father reassures his daughter of the fantastical lengths he’d go to in order to show his love

What happens if you run out of words?
Will you have any left for me?

Don’t be silly!
I could NEVER run out of words!

But what if you DO?

Seeking reassurance of her father’s attention, a young girl peppers her dad with elaborate, anxious what-ifs. Dad soothes each worry with the perfect answer: if he ever ran out of words, he’d visit the Elves’ Word Factory so that he never runs out again, of course! Even if it means having to brave the darkest woods, escape pirates, or even fly a rocket ship back home, there’s nothing that could ever come between them—and there aren’t enough words to describe how much he loves her.

Imaginative, humorous, and heartfelt, this picture book from internationally celebrated creator Felicita Sala is a whimsical ode to a parent’s boundless love for their child.

From the Publisher

An imaginative & heartfelt modern classic that celebrates a parent's boundless love for their child
Starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews and Booklist

Editorial Reviews

Review

***STARRED REVIEW***
"With humor, heart, and oodles of child appeal, this tale models a flawed but devoted parent’s mastery of love languages."―Kirkus

***STARRED REVIEW***
"With a plot that recalls Margaret Wise Brown’s classic The Runaway Bunny and artwork kids will love to pore over, this whimsical bedtime story offers a superb, masterful balance between the sweet reassurance of parental love and the freewheeling silliness of imaginative play."―Booklist

"As lights-out approaches, Dad proves his storytelling mettle, reassuring his child that he’ll never run out of words—especially the three most important ones."―Publishers Weekly
