Presents the story of a young woman with cerebral palsy who is unable to speak. She feels isolated and unhappy and similarly her carers are frustrated in their attempts to understand or recognise her needs. Illustrates what happens to Michelle and how she and her carers are helped to overcome these difficulties. Various solutions are explored, including the use of signing, symbol charts and electronic communication. There is written text at the end of the book which provides one possible narrative for the pictures in the main part of the text.
