My Review:
I Celebrate My Voice is an uplifting and empowering book that celebrates diversity across different dimensions. With simple language and realistic pictures, the book explains what one's voice really means in a broader sense and suggests a wide range of ways to share one's voice with the rest of the world.
Consistent with the book's theme, the brightly colored illustrations feature characters that represent people of different skin colors, different genders, different cultural backgrounds, different physical conditions and different talents. The book brilliantly uses various animals as analogies to children with diverse interests and specialties, making its messages easier to understand and more compelling. Young readers are inspired to express themselves by showing who they are, what they believe in, and what they love to do. Parents may draw on examples from this book to help their children become more confident, positive, and inclusive.

About the Author:
Nonkululeko Kunene Adumetey (also known as Nonku) is an award-winning author, loving wife and devoted mother of two happy toddlers. Her children both love singing, story time, and tasting home-cooked cuisines. When Nonku tastes delicious food, she hums a blissful tune, which she never realized until both her children started humming along.
Nonku was born in the Kingdom of Eswatini, where she lived until she was 16. She left to complete high school in Canada and later moved to the United States to pursue her college education.
Her passion is to inspire her children and all children to celebrate who they are, understand their differences are beautiful, know their diversity is a strength, and believe their voices are should be heard.
Her hero is her late father, Themba Micah Kunene, a man from humble beginnings who worked tirelessly to provide a full life for his eight children. Her father’s unconditional love, wisdom, selflessness, and work ethic inspire the core of Nonku’s principles and life mottos. One of his favorite mottos was "umtsentse uhlaba usamila”, a saying about a strong grass that gets deeply rooted during its early stages of development. The essence of this saying embodies the core of early intervention and teaching young minds early so that they grow up strong and informed about the world. This is what inspires Nonku to write children’s book, to inspire and empower young minds for a greater future.
