Critics Review
“More than Words offers great advice to increase self-awareness, engagement both in-person and online … sets the reader up for success.”
* Quill & Quire *“Sherrard and Hyde capture the attention of readers with true stories from history about communication failures, including the story of the call for help from the Titanic. … The subject matter is quite current as an entire chapter is dedicated to special challenges in getting messages across through digital means, including discussion of social media and video conferencing. … This book is recommended for public and school library collections.” – Krista Jorgensen * Canadian Children’s Book News *
“Communication techniques and tips can be very dry, but More than Words: Navigating the Complex World of Communication takes the complex topic, breaks it down into digestible chunks, and delivers an informative, fun read.”
– Crystal Sutherland * Canadian Review of Materials *“I wish this book was standard reading in every classroom. … What truly distinguishes this work is its profound message: communication transcends mere information exchange — it’s about fostering genuine human connections in our society. This foundational understanding makes the book an invaluable guide for anyone looking to strengthen their relationships and master the nuances of modern interaction. I highly recommend this book for libraries, classrooms, and homes!” – Cherubimaris Casino * Readers’ Favorite *
