Our Voices, Together

Our Voices, Together speaks to the power we all have to stand up against war, violence and inequity. Written in rhyme and illustrated thoughtfully, this picture book acknowledges the realities of children in conflict zones and suggests tangible steps that we can take to speak up.

A silence can be broken
by the might of one small word.
Our voices are our power ...
and together we''ll be heard.

Thought-provoking yet hopeful, Our Voices, Together encourages empathy and critical thinking, and shows children how they can be activists and allies in promoting justice and peace. This book is a call to action for children aged 4 to 9 years who wish to make a difference in the world.
