Words to Love by by Rick Warren
4.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade

Words may seem small, but they can do big things like encourage, spread love and kindness, bring out the best in people, and let others know they're not alone. Warren focuses primarily on the impact of positive words yet doesn't forget to include the lasting power of words spoken in anger. Well balanced with a narrow focus, this book stands out in the ever-growing field of SEL books for kids.

As an evangelical pastor, Warren manages to keep the presence of God to a minimum, using the word only once (which can be exchanged for a more secular word like "we" or "the world" if needed).
