If You Run Out of Words

If You Run Out of Words is a whimsical and heartfelt bedtime adventure from award-winning artist Felicita Sala, celebrating the extraordinary lengths a parent will go to show their child just how much they are loved.

A little girl, looking for reassurance from her dad, comes up with one elaborate “what if?” after another. What if he ever ran out of words? His answer is simple: he’d travel all the way to the Elves’ Word Factory to make sure he never ran out again.

And the adventure only grows from there. He might have to journey through dark woods, escape pirates, or even fly a rocket ship home—but nothing could ever keep him from his daughter. Through each fantastical scenario, Dad finds a way to remind her that his love will always be there, even when there aren’t enough words to describe it.

Imaginative, funny, and full of heart, If You Run Out of Words is a tender bedtime story about reassurance, connection, and a parent’s boundless love.
