A Language Of Your Own
The Connection Between You Is The Safety
Eleven words, given to your family across her year. She uses them with you, you use them with her, and neither of you has to explain.
Each one arrives with what it means, why this word of all the words in the world, how it is lived, and what it builds between the two of you.
