What if words got stuck in the back of your mouth whenever you
tried to speak? After a day of being unable to speak when asked,
and of being stared at, a boy and his father go to the river for
some quiet time. "It's just a bad speech day," says Dad. But the
boy can't stop thinking about all the eyes watching his lips
twisting and twirling. When his father points to the river
bubbling, churning, whirling and crashing, the boy finds a way to
think about how he speaks. Even the river stutters. Like him. "I
talk like a river," he says. An incredibly moving picture book that
offers understanding rather than a solution, and which will
resonate with all readers, young and old. Masterfully illustrated
by Sydney Smith, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal.
