Description
A moving, lyrical picture book about a shy child unlocking the power of their own voice through poetry, with the helping hand of an extra special teacher. Written by poet and playwright Joseph Coelho. From the creators of If All The World Were, winner of the 2019 Independent Book Shop Picture Book Award, which has been translated into 13 languages.
This beautifully illustrated, powerful and heartwarming text shows children that everyone's voice can be powerful and beautiful, however small. Allison Colpoys' gorgeous artwork spills from every page as she shows this most heartwarming of tales.
Follow a child who is so shy she doesn't speak. With the encouragement of an enchanting and magical teacher, she writes a poem. But a poem is meant to be read aloud! She musters all her courage, stands at the front of the class, and shows her classmates that she does have a voice. And her voice is BEAUTIFUL!
The perfect way to encourage empathy in young children and show shy children how to feel brave.
