Decibella and Her 6-Inch Voice: Volume 2

Spunky, spirited Decibella loves to be loud. Maybe that's why her name is Decibella? nShe shouts every time she answers a question, offers an opinion, shares a thought, or makes a request. It doesn't matter if she's sitting in a classroom, browsing for books in the library, ordering food in a restaurant, or watching a movie in the theater. Her voice volume is always on full blast. n nDecibella is so loud, she's hurting ears, startling wait staff, disrupting classmates, and annoying moviegoers. She doesn't realize different environments and situations sometimes demand a softer, quieter voice. That is until a caring teacher introduces her to the silly-sounding word Slurpadoodle and the five volumes of voice (Whisper, 6-inch, Table Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside). n nWith a little practice, patience, and persistence, can Decibella become a voice volume expert? Or will her volume be permanently stuck on shout? n nA special page written specifically for parents and educators offers insightful and practical strategies to help children understand when and how to have a proper voice volume. n nFans of the original story will find more inclusive, empathetic, and empowering dialogue and situations in this revised second edition! n nDecibella and Her 6-inch Voice, Second Edition, is one of four stories in award-winning author Julia Cook's Communicate with Confidence series, which includes Well I Can Top That!, The Technology Tail, and Gas Happens! nn
