What happens when words become endangered? Will the things they represent be forgotten? When Mimi finds out that her favourite words-simple words, like apricot, blackberry, buttercup-are disappearing from the English language, she elects her granddaughter Brook as their Keeper. As Keeper, it's Brook's job to protect, love, and celebrate the natural world. Words, the woods, and the world illuminate this quest to save our language-by saving the very things it stands for. With a pocket in the back perfect for saving your own beautiful wild things, this lyrical, inspiring picture book based on true events is an ode to the importance of our environment, the love of a grandparent, and the power of language itself.
