Ann finds a voice in her computer!

Ann, 9, gains both literacy and a voice with the help of a computer in this beautiful tale of assistive communication. Is it an angel in her computer who makes this magic happen? Soft cover. By Sarah Yates.

N0121


Here's What I Mean To Say...

Play Tip!

I highly recommend this series in it's entirety to anyone who may find it necessary to explain cerebral palsy to children between the ages of 3 - 10, or who has a child with CP. The most distinctive feature about these three books (N0119, N0120, N0121) is the convincing portrayal of the interior life of a child who is non verbal. There is a lovely continuity of growth shown as well, as Ann goes from starting daycare at 4 to discovering augmentative communication software at 9. It is easy to see that a mother (who is also a gifted writer) wrote these.
