PreS-Gr 3 The message that every person is amazing and has something meaningful to contribute to the world is what Reynolds conveys as he encourages children to speak up and speak out. "You can say something in so many ways—with words, with action, with heart." This powerful picture book will inspire readers to make their voices heard. The text is uniquely arranged in a series of "if" and "when" statements, followed by the words "say something," with a specific idea on each spread. For example, "If you see an empty lot... SAY SOMETHING by planting a seed and watching it bloom." Told in speech bubbles, the text allows readers to feel as though the author is speaking directly to them. The messages are clear, concise, and positive. There is an array of diverse characters; children from many backgrounds will see themselves reflected in the expressive and artful renderings. VERDICT A motivational must-have for every collection.—Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE
