Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem

ICAN’s Audio Book Tour features Amanda Gorman’s Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem Thursday, August 15th at 5:00PM Pacific.

“I can hear change humming
In its loudest, proudest song.
I don’t fear change coming,
And so I sing along.” 

In this stirring, much-anticipated picture book by presidential inaugural poet and activist Amanda Gorman, anything is possible when our voices join together. As a young girl leads a cast of characters on a musical journey, they learn that they have the power to make changes—big or small—in the world, in their communities, and in most importantly, in themselves.
