Our Voices, Together -- Inda Zahri, Hardcover

A silence can be broken
by the might of one small word.
Our voices are our power ...
and together we'll be heard.

Our Voices, Together speaks to the power we all have to stand up against war, violence and inequity. Written in rhyme and illustrated thoughtfully, this picture book acknowledges the realities of children in conflict zones and suggests tangible steps that we can take to speak up.

Thought-provoking yet hopeful, Our Voices, Together encourages empathy and critical thinking, and shows children how they can be activists and allies in promoting justice and peace. This book is a call to action for children aged 4 to 9 years who wish to make a difference in the world.

About the Author
Inda Ahmad Zahri seems to always have a toe in one world and a pinkie in another. She is a surgical doctor who spends much of her time writing and illustrating for children. She grew up in Kuala Lumpur, studied in Bristol and made a home in Meanjin / Brisbane only to move to Riyadh (for now). And though she loves peace and quiet, she encourages us to use our loud and brave voices to change the world in her picture book Our Voices, Together.
Inda's books have been longlisted and shortlisted for multiple awards, including the CBCA, Speech Pathology and DANZ awards. You'll often find Inda in her studio with her rescue kitten Mochi, singing to herself and working on way too many projects at once.

Syd Fini is a Brooklyn-based artist known for his captivating visual storytelling. Born in war-torn Iran during the Iran-Iraq conflict, Syd found solace indoors, drawing inspiration from his favorite movies and animations. This early passion ignited a remarkable journey, leading him to become a storyboard artist for feature films by the age of 18. He continued to evolve as a director of animations and graphic novelist, seamlessly transitioning between digital and traditional mediums. Syd's work draws from dark and magical realism in literature, reflecting a moody and cinematic style, with grand compositions that transport viewers into worlds of wonder. Syd shares his artistic life with his wife, a talented puppet maker and painter, in New York City.
