Watching this poem being read I noticed the bright illustrations as well as a diverse set of children. With the illustrations being diverse it helps emphasize the meaning of “Change Sings“ where all are respected and valued. There were several instruments depicted as well to help incorporate the musical element.

Watching this read aloud made me truly think abut the mindset and influence educators have. I would use this in the classroom to embrace students in talking about diversity and culture and how each voice is important and should be respected. We can discuss how working together for a common goal could create big change!

This is a poem by Amanda Gorman, 2021. The book represents the different cultures, and ideas that everyone brings to the table. Each one making a song, a melody that all can sing together, as one. It is uplifting and encouraging for young children to embrace change rather than reject it.

This is poetry book with little words, but a lot of influence. The colors are bright and the illustrations tell more of the story than just the words. The book is about how to make a difference, and how we all have the power to change the world.
Singing can change people's lives through the stories that connect us through song.

This is a great book for children of any age. It uses a rhyming structure which is engaging for young children, but the message is suitable for students of any age. This is a great morning meeting book or a book to spark a discussion on what change students can bring to their community.

The moment when all the children get involved in creating change. This moment is so powerful because it shows that with everyone's support change can happen and it is much easier with more hands on deck.

This book is unlike any other in children's literature. This story has an incredible message. The illustrations are incredible and the color choices are settle but bold. The illustrations look like they have been done by paintbrushes and are detailed and can even see the brush marks. The illustrations are large and take up most of the page and they tell a lot about what is going on in the story.
