9 Wonder Words

Lucy Turner has produced a remarkable book of interest and charm. She has highlighted uplifting phrases from the many cultures she has worked among - and opens our eyes and minds to some memorable insights on life. - Lord Robertson of Port Ellen, 10th Secretary General of NATO There is truth and joy in Lucy's perspective, and the world needs what she provides here, more than ever. - Teresa Jennings, Vice President & Treasurer at LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation An inspiring, focussed read about languages, life, storytelling, hope and a genuine, resourceful humanity. . . Writing from Scotland, we would say that 9 Wonder Words is a kist o riches - a treasure chest of insights and experiences. That this is a dram of a book - a pick-me-up for struggling humans. That it is a minding in its thoughtful reflections and its earnest or promise of coping. That it is a handsel - a gift freely given with an inexhaustible potential to be freely handed onwards; a makar's wark - something made or crafted by a storyteller and poet, giving creative delight as well as wisdom. This truly a book to be savoured and shared round, a bit like Robert Burns' cup of kindness for auld lang syne. - Donald Smith, Director, Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland Breezy, lighthearted, and easy-to-read writing with a significant message. I smiled as I read it. - Dr. Pauline Amos, artist and filmmaker A must-read to find joy in the world and an easy-to-read book for anyone. - Deep Shikha, Professor of Economics, St. Catherine's University I couldn't put it down. It resonated with so much of my own experience and articulated it better! - Alan Miller, Professor of Practice in Human Rights Law A page-turner that opens your mind and repairs your perspective on life. - Kevin Greer, artist A prescription for how to derive joy and purpose from doing your part to make the world better. - T.
