My Voice in the Big Room
A Story About Courage, Hope, and Being Heard
Written by Stacey Lynn Hollow
When Eli walks into the courthouse for the first time, everything feels too big — the doors, the voices, even the air.
He’s there because grown-ups are making important decisions about his family, and sometimes that means talking to the judge — a kind man who listens carefully, even when Eli’s words come out small.
With the help of Justice, the gentle therapy dog who stays by his side, and a wooden box that helps him see eye-to-eye with the adults in the room, Eli learns that even the quietest voice can carry great strength.
Through courage, honesty, and a touch of compassion, My Voice in the Big Room helps children understand that courts aren’t there to punish them — they’re there to help families heal.
This beautifully illustrated story reassures children that they are safe, seen, and heard in spaces that can feel overwhelming. It encourages adults — judges, caseworkers, and caregivers — to see the world from a child’s perspective and to remember the bravery it takes to speak up.
