Why read it?
1 author picked My City Speaks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this story for its simple language that recreates a walk through the city.

Focusing on the sounds, both loud and quiet, the story lets readers soak in the atmosphere surrounding a young girl on her way to a violin recital. The illustrations, created in textured paper collage, are as layered as the words.
From Dana's list on children’s stories to engage all the senses.
