Mute As a Fish
When children fail to speak
by Karen-Susan Fessel, Rosa Linke
Selina doesn‘t talk to just anyone. And certainly not to adults! When someone addresses her, she just freezes and stares straight ahead. »Mute as a fish!«, some people say angrily. At home, however, Selina confidently reads every story of »Wilbur the Wusel« to her little sister. But at school at the authors‘ reading, Selina freezes up and juststands there staring and mute again! Something must be done!Selina finds help and learns in small steps how to outsmart her fear. This lovingly illustrated story helps understand selective mutism and encourages children to break their silence
