“ Educators, parents, and caretakers who choose this title for a read-aloud may want to practice first, but the conversations this title might inspire will be worth it. The concept of freedom of speech can be abstract, but the examples will be familiar: raising a hand in a classroom, taking a knee, praying or singing, and marching with signs. Back matter includes the text of the First Amendment, an explanation of the Bill of Rights, and numerous web resources. VERDICT The Bohrers showcase a powerful idea. There aren't many books that discuss the First Amendment for young readers, so this title is a recommended addition to school and public libraries.”
