SEEDFOLKS : KIMConnection Between Voice and PowerKim’s voice is soft because she doesn’t speak to any other character in the story, yet her actions influence the entire community. This results in the creation of the garden. Her quiet strength and determination indirectly led others to discover a new voice despite their challenging life experiences.
