This is absolutely lovely, a strong, positive message of hope that all children deserve to hear. I borrowed this audiobook from my library and I'm so glad I did. It's short and sweet, but says so much. Read beautifully and with feeling, by the author.

Long's beautiful illustrations pair well with Gorman's uplifting verse.

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!

Everyone even a kid can contribute to the community. They have such an important role. It's a fun little book for kids and gives a nice message.

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.
