Abraham Lincoln was very good at using kind and respectful words.

He listened to people, spoke calmly, and tried to help everyone feel included.

Even when people disagreed with him, he used kind words in his communication. That’s why many people trusted him and wanted to listen.

Billie Eilish is a singer who shares her feelings and ideas in a kind and honest way.

She talks about feelings in her songs. She also communicates about helping the planet, caring for animals, and treating people fairly.

By being herself and sharing her thoughts, Billie Eilish shows that words and music are great ways to communicate.

Art is a way to share ideas without speaking.

A picture, painting, or drawing can show feelings, tell a story, or help us understand how someone else sees the world. 

Even when people don’t use the same words, art helps us connect.

That’s why art is a powerful way to communicate .
