Knowing when to use your voice can be difficult. This book gives our littlest readers ideas on when and how to speak up and use their voices for good. It follows a diverse class through their day, giving real life scenarios of when and how students can use their voices individually or together. Some instances given are: if a teacher mispronounces your name – Speak Up! If you need be an ally to a friend, animal, or plant – Speak Up! When a rule isn’t fair – Speak Up! Even if your voice is quiet as a whisper, try it – Speak Up!

This is a great story to teach self advocacy and allyship to our youngest learners.
