Approved by the Ottawa Catholic School Board

Inspired Education. Inspiring Students.

It is with great excitement and joy that we announce Little Voice as an approved resource/organization with the Ottawa Catholic School Board!

“As a graduate from Prince of Peace Elementary School and St. Patrick’s High School, I am overwhelmed with this opportunity to work with not only the schools I attended as a child/teen but now with my entire community! I am extremely grateful and cannot wait to share the message behind Little Voice, which I hope will inspire many more students!”
– Amanda Bernardo, Author

Little Voice will also be working this summer on a special project with the OCSB to continue to support schools and students in the upcoming school year! We can’t wait to share this project with all of you!

As an organization, Little Voice works rigorously within our communities to both inspire children and give back wherever possible. We are extremely proud of our Forget Me Not Project and the #30BooksFundraiser, both fundraising initiatives which have supported the Alzheimer Society of Canada and Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, as well as having shared a love of reading with schools and local organizations.

We are more than just a book … we are a movement and now together with your help, we hope to grow to inspire many more hearts and support many more causes!

Stay tuned, we have a lot more to share!

I believe in me

We are all inspired by different things every day. These things help to encourage us when we doubt ourselves, to motivate us when we’re ready to throw in the towel and to believe that anything in life is truly possible.

Sometimes, our parents or teachers serve as reminders to help us stay on the right path, to push our potential and help us to focus on our strengths and not our weaknesses.

Other times, despite whatever advice or encouragement we receive we just don’t listen, or rather we can’t. We dwell too much on the negative that the positive attributes that make us unique and the dreams that help shape our future are lost silently in the wind.

It is in those moments where we don’t need reminding from others but rather an awakening in ourselves that we need to listen to our little voice the most.

Little Voice is more than just a children’s book, it a message that empowers us all to feel inspired, strong, hopeful, confident and, more than anything, determined to not only be proud of who we are but inspired to help others feel the same.

I believe in me, do you?

Scholastic’s TOP 10 #BIGGERTHAN Books

Reading can help children surpass their own expectations and overcome obstacles. When children find the right book at the right time, the world opens, and everything becomes possible.

In conjunction with Scholastic’s “Open a World of Possible” reading initiative and Usher’s New Look BIGGERTHAN Words initiative, the “BIGGERTHAN Booklist Challenge” gave students in grades 3–8 the opportunity to actively connect with and share the power of reading in their lives.

Students were asked to create a list of three books that have made them feel “BIGGERTHAN”—books that had inspired them to take on challenges and which ultimately had a positive impact on them—and have their teacher or parent share it on social media using the hashtags #BIGGERTHAN and #sharepossible.

Today, Scholastic & Usher’s New Look announced their TOP 10 #BIGGERTHAN Book List!

#BIGGERTHAN Book List

Read the official announcement here!

Little Voice is extremely honoured to be on this list alongside many other empowering and
inspirational stories!

Our goal from day one has always been to inspire children to believe in
themselves and their dreams!

Today, we can officially say that we’ve reached that goal by having children feel …

#BIGGERTHAN!

We encourage you all to open a world of possible by encouraging children to learn to read and love to read!

WANTED: Encouragers

A great article by Jane Nelsen on encouragement as seen on Positive Discipline
– we simply had to share!

Encouragers

Rudolf Dreikurs taught, “A child needs encouragement as a plant needs water.” In other words, encouragement is essential. Children may not die without encouragement, but they certainly wither.

Encouragement is helping your children develop courage—courage to grow and develop into the people they want to be—to feel capable, to be resilient, to enjoy life, to be happy, contributing members of society, and, as Dreikurs said, “To have the courage to be imperfect,” to feel free to make mistakes and to learn from them.
