My daughter don't like to read at all, but for some reason she loved this book
Not just "use your words." The actual words.
Most books tell kids to "use your words" but never say which ones. What Can I Say? gives kids the exact phrases for the moments that stump them, and their parents too. From standing up to a bully to comforting a friend who's hurting, the words are right there on the page.
The counselor’s secret, at home
School counselors have been quietly recommending this book since it launched — because it works. Now you can bring those same tools home. Real situations, the exact scripts for them, and the gentle confidence that comes from knowing what to say.

The book kids actually read
Short chapters, illustrated pages, and scenarios kids recognize make What Can I Say? the rare book your child will pick up on their own — and quote back to you at dinner.

Our girl had a rough run with friendships this year and didn't have the words for any of it. This gave them to her — and honestly to me too. She actually asks to read it.

My son shuts down the second anything "feelings" comes up. But he actually points out the situations in this book and asks me what he's supposed to say. He even coached his little sister at dinner. Did not expect that from him.

The author just gets kids. This book is funny, real, and actually helpful — not preachy at all. My daughter asked if she could bring it to school to show her friends. We ended up buying two more copies as birthday gifts.

Bought one for each of my boys after our oldest had a rough week. The scripts for handling mean comments alone are worth the price. I've already recommended it to three other parents at pickup.

As a school counselor I've been recommending this book to families for two years. I finally ordered copies for our school library. The kids who need it most are always the ones who connect with it fastest.

My daughter and I read a few pages together most nights now. The difference is real — last week she told me "I need a minute to calm down" instead of slamming her door. I didn't teach her that. The book did.

My son was being manipulated by a group of boys at school and had no idea it was happening. After reading this he came to me and explained exactly what they were doing. That conversation alone was worth the price of the book.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is this book for?
+
What Can I Say? is written for kids ages 6–12, though many parents tell us younger children love it with a grown-up, and teens find it surprisingly useful too. The author's writing is warm and funny enough for the whole family.
What if my child is shy, or already pretty confident, or struggles more than most?
+
It works across the whole range. For a shy kid, it gives them the exact words they freeze up without. For a confident one, it sharpens the harder stuff — handling conflict, setting boundaries, being a good friend. And because each skill is its own short lesson, you can start wherever your child is and skip ahead or linger as needed. It meets them where they are.
How is this different from other social skills books?
+
Most books tell kids to "be kind" or "use your words." This one actually shows them the words — the real scripts for apologizing, asking for help, joining a group, standing up for themselves. It's practical, not preachy, and it's written in kids' language with illustrations that make it stick. It's less a book about feelings and more a how-to guide for the social moments kids face every day.
