Descripción: A compelling account of Simon Tam's fight for free speech that ended with a landmark supreme court decision. Music is a way to transcend cultures and divides. Simon Tam used his band's name, The Slants, to make a powerful statement that racist insults could no longer be hurtful to Asian Americans. But then the U.S. Trade and Patent Office tries to stop him. In his eight-year battle to win trademark protection, Simon would go all the way to the Supreme Court in a landmark case (that included Ruth Bader Ginsberg) to rout out structural racism in our government systems. Written with the full collaboration of Simon Tam, Mia Wenjen takes us back to Simon's early days and the formation of the band, to the long battle to claim the name they chose to use. We learn of his motivations and the years-long struggle that leads ultimately to the Supreme Court of the United States. Told using lyrics from the band's hit song about their trademark fight, this compelling story will keep readers riveted until the dramatic ending. We Sing from the Heart gives background and context to the significance of Simon's quest, not just for him and his band, but for free speech rights for us all. Newcomer to children's books, Victor Bizar Gomez, channels the indie music world with dynamic artwork which compliments the storytelling and is sure to draw in readers with his exciting graphic approach.
