Why read it?
1 author picked My City Speaks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this story for its simple language that recreates a walk through the city.
The main character uses a white cane, a simple indication that she is blind. Focusing on the sounds, both loud and quiet, the story lets readers soak in the atmosphere surrounding a young girl on her way to a violin recital. The illustrations, created in textured paper collage, are as layered as the words.
From Dana's list on children’s stories to engage all the senses.
