Creates great awareness about non-verbal communication

As a mother of a child who is non-verbal, I thought this was a great book. Through the main character in the book, I was given a little more insight as to what kind of thoughts might be going through my child's mind, and how he may feel not being able to communicate with words. The book created an awareness of how communicating with symbols can help a person who cannot talk. It also gives those who communicate verbally an idea of how they should interact with people who use alternative methods of communication.
