Ya'll Won't Let Me Sing: Chapter One

Hello, my name is Francoise Slaughter. I believe that everyone has something they dream of doing or feel they were born to do. If you look closely at your family, you might find yourself following in their footsteps, whether it's the family business or a special talent. For me, I always knew from a young age that I wanted to sing because my family sang on both sides. I wanted to be just like them. But, I wasn't sure how to start. Giving up never crossed my mind because my family never gave up on their talents. They always remembered it's not "can I do it?" but "when will I do it and how?" You are the key to unlocking your full potential. Being little has its perks, so let's sing this song together: "I am small, I am small, I may be little, but I know who I am!" This story is for kids just like you, ages 7 to 9, and for parents who encourage their children to chase their dreams no matter what!
