Mahitha hardly ever says a word at school, and when she does, she says it so softly that nobody notices her at all.When Mahitha’s teacher asks her to read a story out loud in class, she can barely speak above a whisper. It isn’t until she is whisked away to a magical land — helping Queen Gagana retrieve her lost pearl and learning to confront dragons — that she is finally able to find her voice.A beautiful story on standing up for yourself and finding the confidence to use your voice.
