About Mara's Still Game
Mara the fawn arrives with springy hooves and a quick little wiggle. Around the warm office, she invents a still-as game by the window, rug, fish tank, scale, sink, and chair. By the sticker drawer, Mara feels calm, proud, and ready to wave goodbye.

How to read it together
Start at the right level
Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene — the art stays put and only the language changes.
Let them find the words
Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait — the wait is where your child's turn happens.
Session-ready
Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
