Description
Small Voice Says is intended for our little ones as they enter their pre-school and kindergarten years to continue into their early grade-school years.
This development period represents a critical span of time when the foundations of conscience begin to develop. In other words, our kids begin to build their inner small voice that helps them to distinguish between right and wrong, and how they impact others. It starts to feel a little different now when they don’t tell the truth or they hurt the feelings of a friend.
While most children will experience the pull and tug of their conscience . . . too few will cultivate the inner reflection skills that are necessary to guide them through all stages of life. It is one of the most important skills that a parent can not only teach, but also continue to co-learn with their child.
We catch ourselves from over-correcting our children and instead ask… what does your small voice say you should do?

As a pediatric speech language pathologist, I work with all types of children that have challenges. Using literature to expand awareness and skills is a passion of mine. Small Voice Says is an excellent way to increase children's awareness of conscience and empathy for others. Written for young children, the words of the story are easily understood and the illustrations match the text and help comprehension.
I see this book being used by counselors, teachers, social workers and others working with children. Knowing what is right to do can be hard for some children to voice, but this book can start discussions of how your inner voice can steer actions to be positive.
Highly recommend this book! Thank you to the authors, #NetGalley, and the publishers for an advnace reader copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

I’m not sure I’ve come across a children’s book quite like this before. It teaches an important lesson about the “small voice” inside your head and listening to your conscience. This is a must read for little ones.
Dana G, Librarian
This was a really well written book that covered a lot of different aspects of our inner monologue and how it's important to listen to that voice to help us through emotions and concepts such as sharing, honesty, friendship, anxiety, and more. There was a lot of topics covered in this book without the book feeling too heavy. I think it will act as a great starting point for families to talk about self reflection and thoughts.
