What does it mean to speak up? This picture book follows a group of young children as they find ways to speak up in a variety of situations. Not only is this book timely, but I think it can help both children and adults find their voices to make a positive difference!
The back of the book features real kids who spoke up as well as some teaching points on when to speak up, when to stay quiet, and how to speak up without saying a word. These tips will come in handy as you share the book’s message at home or in the classroom.
