The Boy Who Found His Voice

Ages 4 to 8

From teen activist and artistic prodigy Tyler Gordon comes a picture book inspired by his own life about a boy with a speech difference who learns the power of self-expression through art.

There once was a boy who had trouble with words. He would pause and stutter and stammer, which made school really tough. But with encouragement from his mom and a paintbrush in hand, he learns that finding your voice isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being true to yourself.

For fans of I Talk Like a River and Amanda Gorman, The Boy Who Found His Voice is a joyful and empowering testament to art, empathy, and having self-confidence even in the face of doubt.
