Kiki Finds Her Voice: Be True to You and Embrace Your God-Given Gifts
When the school talent show creates an issue between her and her friends, little Kiki learns what it means to follow your heart and be a leader. Based on a true story from the life of Grammy-nominated singer and actress Kierra Sheard-Kelly, this inspiring picture book helps kids discover how to best use their God-given gifts and what it means to be true to yourself even when it's not the popular thing to do.
The school talent show is a big deal, and Kiki is thrilled when the popular girls ask her to perform with them. But when the song her new friends choose turns out to be one Kiki's parents don't want her singing, she must decide if it's more important to be popular and please her friends or speak up and do what she knows is right for her.
