A lyrical picture book debut from inaugural National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman and number-one 'New York Times' bests-selling illustrator Loren Long

“I can hear change humming
In its loudest, proudest song。
I don’t fear change coming,
And so I sing along。”


In this stirring, much-anticipated picture book by inaugural Youth Poet Laureate and activist Amanda Gorman, anything is possible when our voices join together。 As a young girl leads a cast of characters on a musical journey, they learn that they have the power to make changes - big or small - in the world, in their communities, and in most importantly, in themselves。

With lyrical text, 'CHANGE SINGS' is a triumphant call to action for everyone to use their abilities to make a difference。

I have waited excitedly for this book to be published。 Since hearing her inauguration poem, I have been a fan of Amanda Gorman and look forward to reading or listening to her work for years to come。 May children and their parents truly enjoy this book and may educators find delight in reading it to their students。 What a great choice of having Loren Long illustrate the book。 The vibrant colors and drawings are fun and captivating!

Within each child beats a heart for change, change that sings, change we need not fear but welcome。 This is the anthem, the poem Amanda Gorman “sings” to each child and the child in each of us。 Gorman’s words come to life in the gorgeous illustrations by Loren Long。 Share this book w/ students of all ages, and they’ll fall in love w/ poetry。

Beautifully written and even more beautifully illustrated 💗 A story of overcoming obstacles by working together to make a better world。 Definitely glad I pre-ordered so I can have this in my classroom!

Capn Fart

Lyrical, beautiful, bright。 Spurs the imagination。 (Side note: very U。S。A。-centric, but still of value elsewhere)

Kate

An anthem for children, indeed! Young children will quickly pick up the rhythm and repetition, reading it back to their adults in no time。 The language is beautiful。 One could spend long periods of time looking at the exquisite illustrations and always notice some new detail。

Denise Alicea

The poetry of Gorman along with the beautiful artwork of Long make this a treasure to behold。 How we would benefit if this anthem were adopted by children around the world bringing hope to us all。

Beth

Amanda Gorman writes a moving testament to inclusivity and embracing change。 This beautiful story begins with one young girl playing her song with just a guitar, and as the story progresses, many different faces, voices, and instruments join her as a reminder that our diversity is what makes us great。

Katelynne

I love the art and the message。

Seth Ahrens
