So Loud By Sahar Golshan (Grades 1-3)

A wonderful story about a young girl discovering the power of her voice, and how it's alright for girls to be SO LOUD! like howling huskies and roaring lions. In this moment, we see the girl comparing her voice to a river on Norooz, the Irānian New Year, celebrated on the first day of Spring.
