This picture book follows a group of young children as they find ways to speak up in a variety of situations.

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.

Kate DiCamilloI got a letter last week from a reader who wrote these words on the outside of her envelope: “I am a fan of pigs and I am a fan of you.”
The letter itself was about Mercy Watson, and how I should write more books about “that pig.”
Every time I think about the phrase “I am a fan of pigs and I am a fan of you” it makes me laugh out loud.
I’m a fan of pigs, too.
I’m also a fan of readers.
And I’m a fan of laughter.
So, will there be more stories about that pig?
Yes.
