It's tough to communicate without speech!
Ann, 7, is finding it tough to communicate without speech. She gets frustrated when nobody knows what she wants. On an adventure, she discovers others also communicate without words when she rides a horse and the horse understands her commands. Soft cover. By Sarah Yates.

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.
