I Talk Like a River

Written by Jordan Scott and Illustrated by Sydney Smith

I wake up each morning with the sounds of words all around me. And I can't say them all . . .

When a boy who stutters feels isolated, alone, and incapable of communicating in the way he'd like, it takes a kindly father and a walk by the river to help him find his voice. Compassionate parents everywhere will instantly recognize a father's ability to reconnect a child with the world around him. A book for any child who feels lost, lonely, or unable to fit in.
