VERSE
If I could change one thing
I would clean the ocean
Leave stuff better than I found it
Eliminate pollution
—
If I could change one thing
I would rest at ease
Knowing the world is getting better
Because we found world peace
—
I would eliminate pollution
If I could change one thing
I’d rest at ease at home
Knowing the world is getting better

About the Book
Amanda Gorman reads inauguration poem, ‘The Hill We Climb’
Change Sings
Written by Amanda Gorman
Illustrated by Loren Long
In this stirring, much-anticipated picture book by inaugural Youth Poet Laureate and activist Amanda Gorman, anything is possible when our voices join together. As a young girl leads a cast of characters on a musical journey, they learn that they have the power to make changes—big or small—in the world, in their communities, and in most importantly, in themselves.
Change Sings is brought to life by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long, the artist behind Barack Obama’s children’s book Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters. Written as a children’s anthem, Gorman’s book reminds the newest generation that they have the power to shape the word with their actions and voices.
