Fact: I am obsessed with picture books. Double fact: I am totally obsessed with picture books that teach a valuable lesson. Enter:
Y’all, this book is it! If you have kids, you need this book. If you are a kid at heart, you need this book. If you are an adult who could use some life guidance…you need this book.

I love ALL the steps, but I think I like Step 3 and Step 5 the most. Step 5 goes without saying. That’s a lesson I have always tried to teach my students and follow myself. But, Step 3 made me pause. Use your voice, and don’t lose your voice.
We need to use our voice to share happiness with song. We need to use our voice to give good ideas and share opinions. BUT, when we have a “PURPLE” voice, we help others who have trouble finding their own, and in my opinion THAT was the best take-away from the book.

This world definitely needs more purple people.
