Your words are your paintbrush—what will you create? In Canvas , author and songwriter Bryson Finney invites young readers to imagine the world as a blank canvas—ready to be filled with color, kindness, and creativity. Through lyrical language and inspiring illustrations, this uplifting story shows how the words we choose to speak—and the ones we choose to receive—can shape the world around us. Whether we’re lifting others up or standing tall in our truth, every word adds a stroke to the masterpiece of our lives. Perfect for classroom read-alouds or quiet reflection at home, Canvas encourages empathy, confidence, and the power of intentional speech to help children become thoughtful, expressive, and compassionate communicators.
