If you’re looking for an interesting gift to give all the little logophiles your life, look no further than A Word a Day - 365 Words for Curious Minds. It takes readers on a year-long journey of word-related wonder, with each beautifully illustrated spread sharing information (definition, etymology, part of speech, pronunciation) about words that often relate to the specific month or day.
For example, on 1st January, we learn about “resolution”, and on the 4th January, we discover “emboss”, given that this is World Braille Day. Other notable highlighted days include Martin Luther King Day, World Book Day, and International Women’s Day, which serve as portals to discovering the meaning of “segregation”, “bibliophile”, and “suffragette”.
Another fab feature is the inclusion of satisfying-sounding words that’ll enhance vocabulary, with accompanying fascinating facts. For example, we learn that the word “diaphanous” derives from the Greek words “dia” (through”) and “phainein” (show”).
Readers will also relish discovering lesser-known animals, vibrant verbs, and interesting adjectives that are sure to enhance creative writing. All in all, this is a sure-fire winner for word-lovers aged six and upwards.
