Meet Lily, a spirited young girl with autism. While the world may not hear her spoken words, her thoughts and emotions radiate through her alternative augmentative communication (AAC) device. Lily Finds Her Voice is the next journey in the You, Me, Neurodiversity series, shedding light on the myriad of ways we can communicate, connect, and understand one another. In a world that often emphasizes spoken language, Lily exemplifies the myriad ways humans express themselves. With the support of her friends, family, and her trusty AAC device, she helps her community recognize that communication extends beyond just words. It's about connection, understanding, and the diverse spectrum through which we all share our stories. Guided by the memories of their journey with Max, Lily's classmates and the ever-supportive Ms. Jones take steps to create an inclusive environment that honors all modes of communication. From sign language and body language to digital dialogues via AAC devices, the story underscores the beauty of understanding and embracing varied voices. Boasting vibrant illustrations and poignant storytelling, "Lily Finds Her Voice" is more than just a tale of a girl with an AAC device. It's a celebration of the diverse tapestry of communication that binds us. Young readers will walk away with a deeper appreciation for the multitude of ways in which we express ourselves and the importance of listening, even when words aren't spoken. All book royalties will be reserved for charitable donations to support autism awareness, acceptance, and appreciation. Lily Finds Her Voice by Alyssa Lego, published by Story Arc Books.
