We All Sing with the Same Voice

A lyrical and joyful celebration of inclusion and respect

First featured as a song on the widely popular Sesame Street, the beloved educational children’s television show, We All Sing with the Same Voice is a joyous read-aloud that embraces the notion that no matter where children live or what they look like, they’re all the same where it counts—at heart!

With colorful illustrations from Geisel Honor-winning artist Paul Meisel, this celebration of love and respect has been noted by many teachers and parents as a top pick for teaching empathy.

This hardcover edition comes with a CD of the song.

I live across the street,

In the mountains,

On the beach.

I come from everywhere,

And my name is you.

I live across the street,
In the mountains,
On the beach.
I come from everywhere.
And my name is you.

No matter where they live, what they look like, who is in their families, or what they do, all children, at heart, are the same. This Sesame Street song by J. Philip Miller and Sheppard M. Greene comes to life with Paul Meisel’s happy illustrations. Children from Texas, Peru, and southern France; with black hair, red hair, or yellow hair; named Jack or Amanda Sue or Kareem Abdu; rejoice in the fact that they all “sing with the same voice.” Meisel paints a picture of diversity that is buoyant and beautiful. Children in their native garb, from serapes to woven vests to blue jeans, open their mouths wide in song, encouraging young readers to sing along with the accompanying CD. Meisel has illustrated many popular picture books, including Jean Craighead George’s How to Talk to Your Cat and Go Away, Dog, by Joan L. Nodset. (Baby to preschool) –Emilie Coulter
