Like other artforms, poetry has the power to reach children whose voices are rarely (or never) heard, and this book captures something of that excitement. The challenge of speaking out in public for the first time is given the space it needs – from an image of the child realising that her voice is getting ready to be heard, through spreads showing her battling against winds and up mountains until she’s standing on a cliff-edge, to the triumphant image where she finally speaks out. Although the love comes shining through, the text often confuses in straining for patterned simplicity. Anyway, I was excited about this book, because it is *about* poetry and about finding your voice through poetry. Quite literally! A young androgynous child is made fun of because they don't speak. it seems a kind of voluntary mutism. But the new fabulous and vibrant teacher doesn't seem to mind and knows just how to handle this shy child. They are working on poetry, writing their own and the child is swept away. They feel something growing inside them. It's an empowering book. Although the child is anxious and apprehensive and the challenges they face in walking to the front of the class and read their poetry seem like walking in strong headwinds or climbing a mountain, but they persevere and their words ride out "tinkling at the windows, [and] jangling on the desks, whizzing around [their] smiling classmates" and they realize something very important.
