Wren Listens With Her Heart: A Story About Communication and Listening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999346292)

Not all conversations use words.

When she meets children who communicate in different ways, Wren discovers that understanding doesn't always come from words. Sometimes, the truest language is found in gestures, sounds, movement-and in the quiet space between them.

At the library, Wren meets a girl whose hands flutter like butterflies, speaking in sign language. At a restaurant, she hears a classmate speaking with his family in a language that rises and falls like music. At school, she notices a nonverbal boy's eyes flick toward his water bottle-a silent request she understands.

And at home, her cat tells her exactly what he needs without saying a word at all.

Wren is discovering something important: there are countless ways to communicate, and the most meaningful connections happen when we listen not just with our ears, but with our whole heart.

✨ A tender, neurodiversity-affirming story for kids ages 4-8 about empathy, connection, and communication in all its beautiful forms. Perfect for families, classrooms, and counselors helping children explore:
