Leila and the Voice

By Shahrzad Maydani

Book Overview

A modern fable about a young girl who embarks on a journey to overcome fear and meets a supernatural creature along the way, for readers of What the Road Said and Where the Wild Things Are.

When the angry cloud comes... Leila runs. The cloud grows and grows, and Leila walks deeper and deeper into its depths. Then she hears a voice. Underneath all the cloudiness is a spot of light. Leila works to dig the Voice out bit by bit, until she has a companion to walk with.

Whether drawing them a map for when they get lost or creating a net for when they fall, Leila's finally able to soar with the Voice into a world of technicolor light. But will it be enough for them to complete their voyage home?

Leila and the Voice is a picture book about the journeys we start, the fear we face, and the courage we grow into as we learn that we've had what we needed all along to face what scares us.
