What a stunning collection of poetry from Black poets, present and past. These poems touch beautifully on many aspects of Black culture and are accompanied by absolutely gorgeous, vibrant art that brings the words to life. This is simply a treasure for children and adults alike.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a wonderful collection of poems for young readers, with poetry from an Own Voices perspective. From Langston Hughes to Gwendolyn Brooks, and many many more talented poets, this is a beautiful collection for reading with a loved one.

I recommend this for schools and libraries.

I love poetry and love introducing poetry to my children and children at the library. This is a collection that can be read and looked at over and over.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of This Is Not A Small Voice, featuring beautiful poetry collected by Traci N. Todd. The illustrations by Jade Orlando are breathtaking and the resounding message is that all children are beautiful and worthy.

Filled with gorgeous prose by well-known poets like Langston Hughes and less recognized but equally incredible voices, this is a collection that belongs on every classroom bookshelf.
