Wow wow wow. This book made me laugh and cry and it also taught me so much about how a child with autism and mute can impact a family. The best part of this book was that Jonah, the child in question, was the most truthful in his '"communication". Relationships broke down because of the lies between the other characters and this just highlights that actions do speak louder than words. Also, Jonah pressing his forehead to his father is the cutest thing ever and I'm crying again bc this book broke and put me back together.
