Description

When outgoing Lily meets a little girl who is too afraid to talk in school or other places outside of her home, she befriends the silent girl. Their friendship grows, and the silent girl feels comfortable enough to talk to her new friend.

It is also a helpful tool for parents, friends, and teachers of children with selective mutism to understand why these children are unable to talk in certain settings and to explore some strategies that may help reduce their anxiety around speaking.
