The Right Word
Roget and His Thesaurus
Jen Bryant
illustrated by Melissa Sweet 2014
Melissa Sweet's collage illustrations are a maximalist's dream! And so appropriate to telling the story of Peter Roget's maximalist collection of words. Roget was a list maker from a very young age. Lists of weather, elements, the garden, lists of words. I really didn't know anything about him before, but the breadth of his interests and curiosity paired with his love of language and words make him fascinating!
