Description
A stunning book in both words and pictures that empathetically shares the authors own experience as a child who stuttered. We glimpse the heartache and turmoil of a child who knows what to do but who’s body will not cooperate. A visit to the river with his father helps him find strength in comparison to the powerful water that presents itself in many ways. The beautifully rhythmic text matches the soft and poetic images created by the award winning illustrator Sydney Smith. The main character finds the courage to speak in front of his class by talking about the river.
