Synopsis

A must-read for children with complex communication needs but also for all of us who need a little inspiration and courage to find our own voices.

Mei is a smart and imaginative ten-year-old with Cerebral Palsy who longs to connect with people around her. Unable to express herself clearly, Mei feels unheard and alone, caged up like her pet bird Kakoo. Mei and Kakoo's stories intertwine as they discover friendship, freedom and their place in the world.

Sarah and Lois Yong masterfully welcome us into Mei's mind through a delightful use of colors as the embodiment of voices. Vignettes of Mei's daily life give us a glimpse of what it’s like to express yourself through Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Set in the island-city of Singapore, local references and thoughtful details invite us into Mei and Kakoo's world as they discover the power of words to bring freedom and connectivity.

Small but mighty! This little book contains a powerful story that extends beyond its pages.
