Our Song, Our Voice

Author
Tuula Pere
Illustrator
Muntasir Dipto
Themes

The way Pere weaves life lessons into the story feels natural and never preachy, making them all the more effective.
One of the most touching aspects of the book is the relationship between Sisu and his grandmother, Una. Their bond feels genuine and warm, full of love and wisdom. Una teaches Sisu not only about survival but also about values, culture, and the importance of knowing where one comes from.
It’s perfect for families to read together, as it sparks conversations about heritage, bravery, and the environment. Pere’s storytelling, combined with Muntasir Dipto’s charming illustrations, makes this children’s book both engaging and thought-provoking.

Most of all, we believe that this is a book about hope—a hope not only for the health and well-being of individuals like Grandma Una, but the hope of survival for a whole people, a whole culture, a whole language, a whole set of beliefs and traditions kept alive from generation to generation.
Secondly, the story and its characters—like so many of Pere's books—are cute, lovable, endearing, and compelling. This book explores so many big, great, and beautiful themes like immigration, estrangement from one's language, culture, and homeland; generational trauma, legacies, connecting with one's roots, and so much more.
First and foremost, Our Song, Our Voice by Tuula Pere is one of the best-illustrated children's books of the year! The illustrations by Muntasir Dipto are breathtaking!
— Outstanding Creator
Our Song, Our Voice is a beautiful tale about preserving one’s heritage and the importance of family, resilience, and hope. It highlights the interconnectedness of nature and raises awareness about the need to protect our environment.
Values such as respect, traditional medicine, and community are fading away. Tuula Pere's narrative encourages readers to reconnect with these teachings and honor the wisdom of the past.
Her engaging storytelling is beautifully complemented by colorful landscape art by Muntasir Dipto, which captures the beauty of the valley.
