Tayra won't talk to her new classmates. Is there anything they can do?
Why doesn't the new student in Miss Seabrooke's kindergarten class say anything when the other students talk to her? Speaking LOUDER doesn't help. Tayra won't even answer the teacher! They're about to give up. But then Kitty decides she'll show Tayra things instead of telling her. Soon the pair are communicating with gestures, drawings and smiles. Before long, all the others join in the fun, too!
This story shows that words aren't the only way to connect and be friends!
