Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Five-year-old Viva learns there is a need for girls with powerful voices everywhere when she helps Papi raise his voice on the picket line.
Viva's Papi is a bus driver and Viva loves going to work with him. The sounds of the traffic and the voices of the passengers are music to Viva's ears. When she finds out that Papi's union is going on strike, she convinces Papi to take her along to the picket line. When quiet Papi is too nervous to give his speech, Viva uses her powerful voice to give him the confidence to find his own. A first introduction to labor unions, strikes, picket lines, and workers' rights, this powerful picture book is both educational and endearing.
Debut author Raquel Donoso has crafted a beautiful story about courage, family, and using your voice to help others. Viva's story is based on Donoso's own childhood experience, in which her father's union went on strike.
In English with some Spanish words.
Since the day she was born, Viva's voice has always been the mightiest in the room. But when Papi's bus driver union goes on strike, quiet Papi is the family member who must speak up. He feels nervous, but Viva's strength gives Papi the courage he needs to find his own powerful voice.
Ages 5-8.
