Change Sings: A Children's Anthem (2021)

      Change Sings: A Children's Anthem by Amanda Gorman illustrated by Lauren Long (2021) "I can hear change humming in its loudest, proudest song. I don't fear change coming, And so I sing along." These words begin this large and colorful picture book depicting young children picking up a playground trash, offering food to a mother, child, and elderly woman. A child accepts a trumpet as they stand beside a fierce looking dog and, by so doing, participates a movement to improve the world. The integration of music and action inspires multicultural harmony.
