I'm excited to share part 2 of the incredible review of "Can You Hear Me?" by Martin Vito, aka King Vito Speaks. Martin continues to highlight the importance of multi-generational conversations sparked by this book.⁠ ⁠ He beautifully explains how "Can You Hear Me?" can open eyes and hearts. Mums might start seeing their children through a new lens, and young people might understand their parents' journey to get here. This book fosters a dialogue where both sides can express their needs with mutual respect and honour.⁠ ⁠ Imagine young people articulating their needs, parents genuinely listening, and communities thriving. It's more than just about jobs or money; it's about the love we share and the support we offer one another. If it takes a village to raise a child, we must ensure that every child feels valued and heard, so they too can contribute to the village.⁠ ⁠ Books like "Can You Hear Me?" provide hope and a platform for these essential conversations. They aren't the final answer but a step towards finding solutions together. Let's keep this dialogue going and build stronger, more understanding communities.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Order your copy now: https://lnkd.in/en7tbjH5 ⁠ #CanYouHearMeBook #KingVitoSpeaks #BookReview #MultiGenerationalDialogue #CommunitySupport #PreOrderNow

When I read SOPHIE'S SQUASH to kids, I always bring butternut squash along. (Good news: They're tax deductible for me. Bad news: Sometimes, they don't make it through airport security.) I talk about how my daughter inspired the book. We chat about stories from their own lives they can tell in different ways. We talk about alliteration. They name the squash, and it stays at the school. Got this note, recently, reassuring me Bebe's still thriving! #sophiessquash #schoolvisit #classroombooks #readalouds #picturebooks
