Product Overview
From Follett
"The students in Miss Seabrooke's Kindergarten class are surprised when they welcome a new student and she doesn't respond, even when they talk LOUDER. They are even more surprised when Tayra doesn't answer the teacher. And they are outraged when she accidentally knocks over one of the students and doesn't apologize. Except for Kitty, who puts herself in Tayra's shoes, offers a welcoming hand, and shows Tayra around. When the other students see them having fun, they join in, too. And as they all learn to communicate without talking, smiles abound, and they are soon fast friends."--Provided by publisher.
