With every beat, Kasey learns that his voice matters and to never stop sharing his gift with the world. This upbeat and uplifting Own Voices picture book for 4 to 8 year olds . . . assures children that the things that make them different make them special; encourages kids to embrace their gifts and develop their talents; inspires readers to use their abilities and passions to make a difference; and includes an author's note from Kevin's heart about how he found the courage to be the perfect kind of different that God made him to be.
