A Voice Like Yours (Sweet as Sugar)

"A Voice Like Yours" is an empowering, diverse, and heartwarming picture book about the power of expressing oneself and being heard. Some voices are loud and clear; others are soft, searching, singing, drawing, asking questions, or completely wordless. This book shows children that every form of expression is valuable and that their own voice can make a difference: when talking with friends, standing up for others, sharing ideas, offering comfort, disagreeing, asking questions, or helping to shape the world.

Frank Murphy and April Groman use encouraging language to explore self-confidence, communication, empathy, and participation. Kayla Harren’s vibrant illustrations depict a diverse range of children and everyday situations in which voices become visible, audible, and tangible. This picture book is therefore perfect for families, daycare centers, preschools, and schools to discuss feelings, expressing opinions, democracy, inclusion, and active listening.

A heartwarming book for children ages 3 and up that teaches them: Your voice matters—in your very own way.
