Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if one idea could make a difference-but you were too afraid to share it?Leon is a bright, thoughtful student with plenty of ideas. But when it comes to raising his hand and speaking in front of his classmates, fear often takes over.What if I'm wrong?What if everyone laughs at me?What if nobody wants to hear what I have to say?When Leon's teacher challenges the class to come up with an idea that could make their school better, Leon notices students who sometimes sit alone on the playground. Soon, he has an idea he can't stop thinking about-a colorful Friendship Bench, where students who are new, lonely, or looking for a friend can sit and let others know they would like someone to talk to or play with.There's just one problem: Leon has to find the courage to share his idea.With encouragement from his family, Leon learns that being brave doesn't mean never feeling nervous. It means finding the courage to speak even when fear is still there. When Leon finally shares his idea with his classmates, he discovers something powerful: his voice deserves to be heard.But Leon's journey doesn't end when his Friendship Bench is chosen as the class project. As the project leader, he discovers an even bigger lesson-having a voice also means making room for others to use theirs. By listening, collaborating, and leading with kindness, Leon and his classmates transform one small idea into something that helps other children feel seen, welcomed, and included.My Voice Matters is a heartwarming story about confidence, courage, friendship, leadership, belonging, self-expression, and the power of speaking up. Young readers will discover that their voices don't have to be the loudest to make a difference.Because sometimes a big change begins with a small voice brave enough to say: "I have something to say."My voice matters. Your voice matters. Our voices matter.
