"The text urges children to speak up—show strength—yet also
encourages loving, comforting others, and reminding all “we’re
Sisters and Brothers” who have faces of diverse races and
ethnicities. VERDICT A suggested first choice for libraries, the
rhythm and flow of words perfectly match the art while advising
readers to choose love and use their voices in a powerful song."
--School Library Journal (starred review)
"Johnson supplements the lyrical text with soft-hued, gently
textured art, featuring a cast inclusive across ability, age, hair
texture, skin color, and religion that occasionally mirrors the
text and occasionally diverges. This short, optimistic picture book
urges children to steward their voices well." --Publishers
