Understanding Ellie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249707323)

In Understanding Ellie, Ava is excited for a normal day at school - until a new student named Ellie joins the class. Ellie wears noise-canceling headphones, doesn't speak much, and prefers patterns, drawings, and quiet spaces over loud games and chatter. At first, Ava isn't sure how to connect with her. But when Ellie silently helps Ava find a lost bracelet by drawing where it was, Ava begins to realize that Ellie communicates in her own unique way.

As the days pass, Ava learns to slow down, speak gently, and pay attention to what Ellie loves - patterns, colors, and calm moments. Together, they discover how to work as a team and appreciate each other's differences. Through patience, kindness, and understanding, their friendship grows.
