Say Something! lets children know that their voice matters in this world. The forward of this book reads ” … to all the people who are brave enough to say something – and move the world to a better place – inspiring others to do the same.” This book cleverly showcases the many ways kids can change the world if they make actively make the choice.
Though the language was clear and simple, I was worried the message might be too sophisticated for my 4 year old. I was wrong. My son was excited about the idea of kids choosing to take action! At the end of the book, he said enthusiastically “Mom, you just need to Say Something!” He totally got it 🙂
Through carefully chosen examples, children are encouraged to make an impact:
- “If you see someone lonely… SAY SOMETHING… by just being there for the them.”
- “If you see something beautiful… SAY SOMETHING with a poem.”
- “If you have a brilliant idea… SAY SOMETHING with confidence.”
I love how this book encourages kids to look into their hearts and say what is important them. Each child will choose the best way to communicate their heart song — words, music, personal actions, art, etc. This book’s beautiful message should be shared with all kids: everyone has something to say and you can make a difference. A must have for your own home library.
