Simple words and vivid illustrations show the places and times for an indoor voice, the ways people ask us to speak more quietly, and situations when yelling might occur. Children learn how they can quiet their voices and talk about a problem, supported by a simple reminder: 'Think before you yell, and use your words well!'
