Many young children refuse to speak when in unfamiliar situations - a condition called elective mutism. In this gentle story, Anna stops speaking when she starts kindergarten, until her parents and a therapist help her overcome her anxiety.

  Synopsis Details Reviews  
It is a common experience for young children to cling to parents and refuse to speak in unfamiliar situations. However, some children continue their silence for weeks, months, or even years -- behavior known as "elective mutism." This warm and inviting story of Anna, a young girl who is afraid to speak at school, can be a useful learning tool and a comfort to children suffering from all degrees of stranger anxiety.
