That Sounds Like Nan
That voice on the phone sounds just like Nan. But is it really her? When Ash hears a familiar voice coming from a computer, something feels a little bit off. With help, Ash learns a simple, powerful lesson: a computer can copy a voice it has heard, so the safest thing to do is check with the real person. Together they practise the refrain that keeps them safe: Is it real? Let's ask! Written for early readers aged 5 to 7, this warm and reassuring picture book introduces the idea of faked voices in a gentle, age appropriate way. There is no live AI in the book and no data is collected. It is a story to read aloud, talk about and remember, giving children one clear habit they can use whenever something sounds real but might not be.
