Join Rose Ayling-Ellis, her cool cat Halo, and their magical tour guide, Perky the Pigeon on a time-travelling, globetrotting adventure to explore the story of communication as never before.
Discover ancient language and decipher secret codes on a journey through time, and learn about all the different ways we can send, or receive, a message. With Perky, the expert tour guide, explore the beginnings of language, the first hieroglyphic 'emojis' and even communication in the animal kingdom!
Interspersed throughout the journey are Messaging Milestones: fascinating timelines of inventions that changed the world, and Rose's Superstars: a celebration of inspirational heroes, both past and present, from the deaf world - including movie star Millicent Simmonds and stuntwoman Kitty O'Neil.
