Rosa’s Voice Book Review

Rosa’s Voice by Barbara Connery  –  Book Review

 

Time to order books for your classroom. Don’t miss this empowering book! Barbara Connery has penned an important book for young people to read. The discovery of the power of public speaking and the confidence to represent yourself and bigger ideas is well portrayed in Barbara’s main character Rosa. The story goes from a classroom speech activity to powerful recitations by selected students at Ford’s Theater and the Lincoln Memorial.

There are students just waiting to be inspired and find a stage for their voices and thoughts. I highly recommend Rosa’s Voice as a gateway book for youth to develop self-confidence, a voice for change, and have a dream.
