He gathers all his courage and uses his size and voice in defense of his friend. Walter, finally finds his voice. This sweet tale shows how each of us needs to take our own time to find our voice and place in the world.

Review quotes

This is a stellar story, with so much charm. Readers and their grownups will love this tale with the message that trying to step out of one's comfort zone often reaps enormous benefits-the whole swamp is rocked by Walter's new ability to sing out loud. Isn't that what we want for all our children? . . . An essential purchase for all collections. -Youth Services Book Review
