Description
Description
From teen activist and artistic prodigy Tyler Gordon comes a heartwarming picture book inspired by his own life about a boy with a speech difference who learns the power of self-expression through art.
There once was a young boy who had trouble with words. He paused and stuttered and stammered, which made school really tough. But with encouragement from his mom and a paintbrush in hand, he learns that finding your voice isn't about being perfect--it's about being true to yourself. For fans of I Talk Like a River and Amanda Gorman, The Boy Who Found His Voice is a joyful and empowering testament to art, empathy, and having self-confidence even in the face of doubt. Don't miss Tyler Gordon's bold picture book debut We Can: Portraits of Power.

Collections of all sizes can welcome this book, which fosters empathy for those with speech -challenges." --School Library Journal "Drawing, per an author's note, from teen activist and artist Gordon's experiences with stuttering, this uplifting work employs humor, rhythmic text, and lively digital illustrations as it moves toward a longed-for moment in which 'the crowd went WILD' for the young protagonist." --Publishers Weekly
