Lila's Way to Say

When words feel tangled, silence can say a lot.

It’s Show and Tell day, and everyone in Wonderfield is ready to share- except Lila. Her painting is bright and beautiful, but the words in her chest won’t come out. With kind encouragement, steady breaths, and friends who listen with their hearts, Lila discovers that every voice matters, even the quiet ones.

Through warm, expressive illustrations and gentle, emotionally centered language, Lila's Way to Say helps children explore confidence, communication, and the many ways we can share our thoughts and feelings. It’s a story of courage, connection, and finding strength in speaking- whether in whispers, pictures, or laughter.
