| book description |

This is the fascinating story of communication, from hieroglypics to semaphore and body language to text messages, but it also shows how important connecting with others is for our mental health and wellbeing. Covering the history of communication, such as writing, languages, senses, animal communication, public speaking and right up to the present-day technological advances, this bright and bold book is full of information. Staying connected helps us to feel happier. But that's not all. Research has shown that connecting with others doesn't just help us to be happier. Amazingly, it helps us to be healthier too. Human connection can actually strengthen our immune systems, so we're better able to fight illness. So why not read more about getting connected now! Supports the science and PSHE curriculums. For the IBACC, it supports 'Using technology to connect across cultures and regions'.
