A Voice Like Yours

A Voice Like Yours is a celebration of the value of every voice in whatever form it might take. Some express themselves through art or voting or inspiring others or helping others be heard. Voices can be loud or soft and may use many different languages, including sign language. Some voices use technology to be heard, and some use their voices to help those who are shy or go unheard. And, as important as it is to use your voice, it is equally important to listen. Each voice is a superpower that the world needs.

Authors Frank Murphy and April Groman have created a wonderfully inclusive exploration of voice. Readers hear that no matter how they choose to speak and through whichever medium they choose, their voice matters and has something to contribute to the world. Kayla Harren’s illustration perfectly complement the text, showing children and adults in all different situations speaking up in positive ways. In a world where children are often told to be quiet, this books reminds them of the power of their voices.
