    About this ebook

    How Katie Got a Voice (and a cool new nickname) is a story of challenge, triumph, and acceptance. The students and teachers of Cherry Street School all have nicknames that celebrate their differences. But the new girl, Katie, is really different. She cant walk. She cant talk. It seems like she cant do anything! So how can the other students involve her in their activities? And how can they give her a nickname?
