New Children's Book on Stuttering

I have already told you about Jeremy and the Hippo, a wonderful little story about a child's struggle with his stuttering which is represented by a hippo, well there is a new book on the subject out there for our little youngsters. Stuttering Stan Takes a Stand is the title and it was created quite a stir. It was referred to me by Lyla Hoffman, who works for the National Stuttering Foundation, and now I feel I should tell others about it also, so you don't miss out on this gem. This picture book was written by Artie Knapp, someone who has already written many beautiful stories for children like the Shell Shocked Turtle, a story of courage, and the friendship tale of Bipper and Bick. The illustrations in these books are colorful and a pleasure to look at. I'm sure your child would be delighted.

Stuttering Stan Takes a Stand is about a squirrel who likes to do most of the things others squirrels like to do but he has a problem with his ability to talk. This leads to some unpleasant things like bullying and teasing. Stan has to learn how to deal with all this until he meets a valuable friend.
For all the millions of kinds out there in the world who stutter, I'm sure they'll all be able to relate to the character of Stan and hopefully learn a thing or two from his story. This age, kids need something like this more than ever. Parents should also read it with their children and may be understand their child better. The reviews for this book have been very favorable so far. If there is a Stuttering Workshop or an event, or group meeting for Stuttering people within proximity of where you live, then more than likely, they will have this book for people to check out and purchase.
This book was published by the Division of Speech Pathology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the largest pediatric speech pathology program in the United States.
