My Beautiful Voice, by poet Joseph Coelho, is a moving, lyrical picture book about a shy child unlocking the power of their own voice through poetry. Readers follow a child who is so shy she doesn't speak. With the encouragement of an enchanting and magical teacher, she writes a poem. But a poem is meant to be read aloud! She musters all her courage, stands at the front of the class and shows her classmates that she does have a voice. And her voice is BEAUTIFUL! This picture book is the perfect way to encourage empathy in young children and show shy children how to feel brave.

"A patient and gentle reminder of the importance of each voice, no matter how small."
