“A wonderful introduction to the First Amendment for kids that is so irresistibly charming and such fun that parents too will find it hard to put down.””
— Floyd Abrams, 1st Amendment Lawyer, Father, Grandfather and Author of The Soul of the First Amendment
“This delightful tale could not come at a more important time for kids to learn about the power and importance of free speech in its many forms, and for parents to reflect on the values that our First Amendment embodies.”
— Dr. Courtney C. Radsch, Advocacy Director, Committee to Protect Journalists
“The Bohrers showcase a powerful idea. There aren’t many books that discuss the First Amendment for young readers, so this title is a recommended addition to school and public libraries”
— Kathleen Isaacs, Children's Literature Specialist, Pasadena, MD in the School Library Journal
“A truly charming book. It helps teach children, and remind us all, of the importance of freedom of speech. As the book so forcefully says, our ability to speak freely is a super-power. But it also is one that can be easily lost if we don’t teach our children its importance.”
— Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law
“An enthusiastic invitation to understand and use our constitutional right to speak out.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“ This is a terrific guide for encouraging kids to fearlessly use their voices (the inside and outside ones) to make a difference in their world.”
— Alison Stewart, WNYC Host and Author of FIRST CLASS: The Legacy of Dunbar, America's First Black Public High School
“The First Amendment gives us superpowers! What a terrific way to help kids understand why they are free to say and write what they think. This engaging story is perfect for young readers and maybe a few parents, too”
— Kathleen Carroll, Chair of the Board of the Committee to Protect Journalists
