“A beautiful celebration of girls who spill outside set boundaries and their powerful flowing voices. You will fall in love with irrepressible Rudy and this howlingly sweet, roaringly sonic debut.” —Kyo Maclear, author of The Wish Tree “This is a story I wish I’d read as a child—a touching story of a multigenerational family and a young girl discovering the power of her voice.” —Jael Richardson, author of The Hockey Jersey “A sensory declaration of what it means to self-express, take up space, and to be one’s self for all to hear. So Loud! welcomes the voices of girls to be bold and live out loud.” —Nadia L. Hohn, author of Malaika’s Costume “Beautiful, healing, and hilarious . . . This book will resonate especially with anyone who has worried or has been told that they need to ‘tone it down’ in order to fit in. So Loud! is an important reminder that all of our voices matter.” —Kai Cheng Thom, author of From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea “This will make a great addition to any library/classroom/home who want to increase their multicultural collection or even just have a wonderful heartwarming story.” —Youth Services Book Review, 02/23/24 “This is a story I wish I’d read as a child—a touching story of a multigenerational family and a young girl discovering the power of her voice.” —Jael Richardson, author of Because You Are and Executive Director of the Festival of Literary Diversity (The FOLD)
