But with the help of Yazmin's trusty superheroes and a new rag doll, Yazmin and Nani find there are ways for them to talk after all.
Joy for Books reviewer comments: "I loved this book. It's short and simple, but it teaches a lot. The back matter is amazing, and the author's note is inspiring. I loved the illustrations for this title, too. The vibrant colors and depictions of the characters were all on point and gorgeous! The illustrations were as inviting as the story itself."
