Interior front flap synopsis
 
In Junior’s home, he knows his mother’s caring voice, his father’s teaching voice, his sisters’ teasing voices, and he hears the voices of other children as they play along Green Street. As soft as a honey bee’s flutter, a different voice touches Junior’s mind and spirit. And Junior begins to respond to the still small voice that calms and strengthens his heart.
