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.

A children's poetry picture book encouraging us to accept change for ourselves and others.

Amanda created a great message for the youth, but it works well to inspire adults as well.

Beautrifully illustrated, uplifting, and encouraging. The book sends the message that each child is needed and can bring change to the world.
"I don't fear change coming/and so I sing along."
"There is hope where my change sings."
"There is love where my change sings."
"I show others tolerance/though it might take some courage.
I don't make a taller fence,/but fight to build a better bridge."
"We are the wave starting to spring/
For we are the change we sing./
We're what the world is becoming.
And we know it won't be long."

I had my nephew read this aloud to me, and it was a 10/10 experience for us.

I liked this book, and I liked that it had a rhythmic sound to it. It showed a little girl who could do anything and bring change when she believed. I think this could be used for a read aloud with an activity to follow talking about the book. I think it has the potential to not be super interesting for the kids, but if I help guide, I think it could be enriching.
