Amanda Gorman is so talented. I can’t wait for my hardcover copy to come in from the library so my students can read it!

This would be good for a classroom to accompany relevant lessons and discussions, but not so good for storytime without context.

A book that begs to be read aloud and shared with others. Hope bursts from these pages and the vibrant illustrations invite the reader to smile and dream of what’s possible.

Beautiful language and pictures. The illustrations support the theme brilliantly by showing the growing number of community members participating in everyday and kid-achievable acts of care. Furthermore, giving the cast different instruments provided an excellent metaphor for how everyone brings different strengths and skills to the community.
This was part of a lesson about using different sources to learn about MLK Day. I do not believe this book was the right fit for that lesson and would be interested to try it near the end of a poetry unit or an illustration study. In this case, the students mostly commented on how big the guitar was compared to the character.

A beautifully written book with exquisite artwork. There is nothing to say about this book other than it's perfect.

Marvelous. Bright bold verse illuminated by bright bold illustrations communicates a universal message: each of us is a unique instrument playing our unique tune; together we can create, harmonize and share our song to be played and built upon through new generations. Pass it on.
