Muette
by Anne Cortey
Age Range: 6-8
Muette was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research. The book is not available in English but is referred to as Speechless throughout the RtW Research. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
This is the story of a child who does not speak. One day, some friends of her parents visit with a little boy who doesn’t talk either. Together, away from the others, they begin to exchange a few words.
OIW thought Speechless was an appealing book with an important theme (a child who does not speak) and attractive artwork. It might require some editing to avoid implying that being selectively mute is likely to 'suddenly' resolve itself. However, it is a book with much to offer and good potential viability.
