Follow a child who is so shy she doesn't speak. With the encouragement of an enchanting and magical teacher, she writes a poem. But a poem is meant to be read aloud! She musters all her courage, stands at the front of the class, and shows her classmates that she does have a voice. And her voice is BEAUTIFUL!
