What's This Book About
Harold is an amazing mimic, and can imitate the sound of everything in his home. Tired of repeating the same old noises, he yearns to find out what other voices there are in the big, wide world. But what happens when he suddenly realises that he doesn’t yet have a voice of his own?This fantastic debut by author/illustrator Courtney Dicmas recounts Harold’s hilarious tale. It’s full of colour, humour and invention, and children will love to join in with Harold as he mimics everyday noises.
What Kind of Book is Harold Finds a Voice
Reviews
The illustrations in this book are so colorful and beautiful! This book has lots of different sounds that Harold repeats (as a parrot does), which is fun for little ones. There's also an overarching theme of the importance of one's own voice, which I think is valuable.
