Reach for this book when your child has experienced a sudden, frightening life change or seems to be retreating into silence following a stressful event. It is a vital resource for families navigating the emotional aftermath of a crisis, offering a gentle roadmap for healing through time and sibling connection. The story follows Antonio, a young boy who stops speaking after a hurricane destroys his home's roof in Puerto Rico. His older sister uses art, patience, and shared memories to help him find his voice again. While the backdrop is a natural disaster, the heart of the book is about the 'blue' period of recovery: the time spent under a temporary tarp when things aren't yet back to normal. It is an empathetic choice for children ages 4 to 8 who need to see that it is okay to be quiet while they process big feelings.
