Sound Off! My Voice Is A Trumpet by Jimmie Allen

SOME HAVE A VOICE AS TALL AS A TREE.

SOME HAVE A VOICE AS SMALL AS A TREE.

There are old, wise voices and there are new and bright voices.

THERE'S THE VOICE THAT ROARS LIKE A LION--

. . .one that says never stop tryin'. . .

A TRUMPET--STRONG AND CLEAR!

Discovering that we need to learn and what we need to know before we speak up, is important. When we speak, the words needs to be loving and inviting to all our brothers and sisters.

SAY NO TO HATE!

Jimmie Allen's first picture book, My Voice Is a Trumpet (Flamingo Books, 2021) is an invitation to youngsters to think about how to think about finding their own voices in their day to day lives, to stop and think about the effects of what you say when standing up against what seems wrong and standing up for what feels right.

Says School Library Journal's starred review, ". . . "A suggested first choice for libraries, the rhythm and flow of words perfectly match the art while advising readers to choose love and use their voices."
