A compelling account of Simon Tams fight for free speech that ended with a landmark Supreme Court decisionMusic is a way to transcend cultures and divides. Simon Tam used his bands 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 eightyear battle to win trademark protection, Simon would go all the way to the Supreme Court in a landmark case to rout out structural racism in our government systems. Mia Wenjen takes us back to Simons 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 yearslong struggle that leads ultimately to the Supreme Court of the United States. Told using lyrics from the bands 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 Simons quest, not just for him and his band, but for free speech rights for us all. Newcomer to childrens books, Victor Bizar Gmez, channels the indie music world with dynamic artwork that compliments the storytelling and is sure to draw in readers with his exciting graphic approach.
