Clara is a quiet girl who’s always being prompted to speak: say your name, say how old you are, say thank you! But words feel strange in her mouth. One night, her tongue turns into cheese, and a group of mice steal it. How can she possibly explain this to her parents? And how can she recover her voice?
With warmth, wit, and a touch of absurdity, Elisa Zuleta crafts a tender tale about childhood, imagination, self-expression, and the loving complicity of adults who help children find the power of their own voice.
