This book is so easy to get into, informative and inspiring. It is well worth stocking in your upper primary libraries. 😊 #EduSkyPrimary

Speechless by @mrwolfcomics.bsky.social (creator of Mr Wolf's Class) is a masterpiece. So many children, and adults, will be able to relate to Mira and her struggles to speak in public. It's a book bursting with empathy and a perfect graphic novel for the Y5/6 bookshelves. Do track down a copy.

Delighted to receive this from @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social #ReadingSchools @muirtownprimary.bsky.social 💙📚
