*"The rhythm and flow of words perfectly match the art while advising readers to choose love and use their voices in a powerful song." —School Library Journal (starred review)
 
From rising country star Jimmie Allen comes a lyrical celebration of the many types of voices that can effect change.
From voices tall as a tree, to voices small as a bee, all it takes is confidence and a belief in the goodness of others to change the world. Coming at a time when issues of social justice are at the forefront of our society, this is the perfect audiobook to teach children in and out of the classroom that they're not too young to express what they believe in and that all voices are valuable.
 
The perfect companion for little listeners going back to school!
Stay tuned after the story to hear a special Q&A between author Jimmie Allen and the narrator—his former kindergarten teacher—Mary Beth Adair!

This audiobook contains an original song written by Jimmie Allen entitled “My Voice Is a Trumpet.” Used with permission of the Artist.

      Country music singer Allen presents a rhyming ode to the range of voices people have, varying in volume, tone, and age, and extending to those conveyed internally and through sign language. Sharing positive ways in which one’s voice can be used, the book highlights words throughout in different colors: “I will learn to SPEAK UP/ to show I am strong,/ TO STAND FOR WHAT’S RIGHT,/ and to know what feels wrong,” reads one spread, which shows a Black child with purple glasses introducing themselves to a light-skinned, curly-haired child eating alone at lunch. Johnson supplements the lyrical text with soft-hued, gently textured art, featuring a cast inclusive across ability, age, hair texture, skin color, and religion that occasionally mirrors the text and occasionally diverges. This short, optimistic picture book urges children to steward their voices well. Ages 3–7.
