A story that uncovers coping skills for kids as they learn to communicate their emotions
Mack the yak has a hard time fitting in with the other yaks in his herd because he can't speak or hear their stories. He feels even more left out because he doesn't know how to explain it. Then one day, the herd comes up with a creative solution. From that day forward, Mack is a happy and included member of his herd. Whether your child has a special need or not, it is a perfect tool to get the conversation going about people with disabilities or impairments.
