Phone Call with a Fish

Silvia Vecchini, illustrated by Sualzo Vincenti

A girl observes a boy in her class who sits near the window and never speaks. Wondering about his silence, she tries to make sense of how he communicates. During a class visit to an aquarium, she discovers that speech is not the only way people can connect or convey meaning. The story follows her changing understanding of a quiet classmate and the possibilities for communication beyond spoken words.
