Official synopsis Publisher
Jimmy has been in the first grade for a few months now, but he still thinks the huge doors at the entrance to the school are scary. It’s not just the big doors that are making him nervous and a little scared; it’s knowing that as soon as he speaks, the other kids in class will laugh and make fun of him. Jimmy knows what he wants to say, but sometimes the words come out wrong.
Jimmy gets even more nervous when his teacher, Mrs. Lyons, tells the children they will be performing a play called “The Elves and the Shoemaker” . . . and she casts Jimmy as one of the elves. Mrs. Lyons assures Jimmy that he’ll do just fine. But how will he ever be able to speak in front of the audience?
“Jimmy Finds His Voice” is James Doti’s second book based on his childhood. His positive caring message, told in his gentle style, will appeal to children and to the adults who read to them. Lisa Mertin’s charming illustrations bring the story to life.
