Change Sings: A Children's Anthem by Amanda Gorman

5.0

Change Sings: A Children's Anthem is about a young girl who can hear change coming, but is not afraid to fight for what she believes in. One by one, she goes around and inspires others to join her as they change the world. With each person she recruits, they find the power within themselves. I would definitely read this book in my classroom because of the loud message it brings. No matter who you are, you have a voice that deserves to be heard. It is important to fight for what you believe in and remember that your voice is powerful.

Beautiful colors and illustrations. And what a message to show kids helping wherever and then singing through it. A must for children to read.

This has nice verse about it and a sweet journey about kids joining together in a band. Each kid is different and represented by an instrument, which is a wonderful way to maybe compare our situations/differences and how it can be wonderful on its own and better and full when it comes together!~

I like the approach with the tough kid was treated with welcome and kindness. After reading this it stayed with me with the power of inclusion and kindness.

An empowering message for children, though I think the illustrations are really necessary to understand the potential impact of Gorman’s words. I like how each line is phrased not as a hope of who we want to be but as a fact of who we are because I think for children it may be easier to adopt these character traits if we instill that they are inherent and just need to be acted on.
