The Paper Nanny

The Paper Nanny: Book Two - The Girl Who Couldn't Speak

Mina hasn't spoken a word in eleven months.

Her grandmother's death stole her voice, and it hasn't come back. Her mother worries. Her teachers have given up. Mina has built walls around herself so thick that even she can't find a way through.

Then a new girl named Mirabelle arrives-loud, relentless, and utterly unafraid of silence. She decides Mina is her best friend, and she doesn't care that Mina can't talk back.

And then Nanny Paper comes, carrying nothing but a satchel full of paper and a very old kind of magic.

She teaches Mina to fold her voice into paper-a Verba, a shape that holds a spoken word. One word at a time, Mina begins to find her voice again. "Hello." "Yes." "Thank you." "Friend."

But some words are harder than others. And some silences can only be healed by someone willing to sit with you while you remember how to speak.

A warm, magical story about grief, friendship, and finding your voice when you thought it was lost forever.

Perfect for readers who love:

· The House in the Cerulean Sea
· Stories about finding your voice
· Books that feel like a hug
