This is a powerful message for girls and boys and everyone who cares for them. —Loung Ung, author of Lucky Child and Lulu in the Sky A magical story. With extraordinary insight, tenderness, and love, Britta Stromeyer Esmail delivers a timely and empowering message—the importance of voice—to our children and youth.
