As someone who has been told they are too loud this book speaks to me. A child is constantly told they are too loud and rambunctious. But when they’re quiet, people say they miss the child ‘s voice. This is about characters learning how the voices are like a fountain and sometimes you need to turn on the tap dependent to the situation. I like the story, I also like the part of this story that includes the grandmother and how loud women are like lions. Their voices are heard. I like the illustrations; I think they are very fun and support the book very well. However, I do think the book is overly long. It has a message it gets it across, but it gets a bit weary in the end.
