Trae is ready for a new day at school!
With the help of British Sign Language (BSL), Trae is learning new ways to communicate with his teacher, classmates, and friends. From signing hello, please, and finished, to sharing his thoughts, feelings, and needs, Trae is discovering the confidence that comes from being understood.
As he navigates the excitement of the school day, Trae learns how to make friends, join in activities, and communicate with those around him. But sometimes school can feel busy, noisy, and overwhelming. When Trae starts to feel overstimulated, he remembers something important - he can use his signs to express how he feels and ask for support.
With understanding adults and supportive friends by his side, Trae learns that communication, kindness, and patience can help create a school environment where everyone feels valued, included, and understood.
This warm and inclusive story introduces useful British Sign Language (BSL) signs that children can use in everyday school situations while encouraging empathy, confidence, and positive communication. Inspired by Trae's own journey, this book celebrates different ways of communicating and helps children understand that every voice matters.
Perfect for children aged 3-11, families, schools, nurseries, SEN settings, and anyone interested in learning British Sign Language.
Join Trae as he learns, grows, and signs his way through the school day-because every child deserves to be heard.
