Three-year-old who can't speak signs George Ezra song
This video warmed our hearts and we hope it will do the same for you.
Three-year-old James McBride had to have a tracheostomy (an artificial hole made in his windpipe) fitted when he was just five weeks old.
He had suffered from severe laryngeal stenosis and needed a device fitted to help him breathe. Now at three years of age, the toddler still needs the tracheostomy to help him breathe, but this means that he isn’t able to speak.
The little one is, however, learning Makaton, which is a simpler form of sign language for children, to help him communicate. A cute video of him is being shared on the internet and it has warmed many hearts. In the video, James and his mom are signing to his favourite George Ezra song.

Annemarie, James' mom, told Metro.co.uk: "James’ big sister Anna loves George Ezra’s song Shotgun and has it on repeat which James absolutely loved. ‘We decided to learn Makaton to the video. James picked it up really quickly and we are all so impressed and proud of him so I decided to video us singing and signing."
