About the Book

Katie: The Little Girl Who Stuttered and Learned to Talk Fluently is an engaging, true story about a smart, vivacious young girl who wants to overcome her stuttering and speak fluently. Katie's stuttered speech causes her daily frustration and embarrassment. The way she talks inhibits her ability to freely share her thoughts and feelings, while she endures teasing from other children. The only time she finds solace is when she escapes to a nearby park where she loves to play hide and seek. Yet, this all changes when Katie and her mother learn about a special stuttering treatment that is based on science. Katie's journey to fluency is recounted in this unforgettable, non-fiction book that is designed for children between the ages of three and seven to read with their parents. The narrative is captivating and keeps children eagerly engaged. Likewise, the message is highly compelling to give parents a reason to share it with their children. This beautifully illustrated book reveals how Katie learned new ways of using her speech muscles to talk without stuttering. It also shows how her life is transformed with her new-found speaking ability¬. The book helps children who stutter understand there is help available and they aren't alone. It also encourages those who do not stutter to be kind and accepting of those who do. Moreover, the story dispels misconceptions about stuttering and how it should be treated. The plot encompasses universally important themes that are essential to nurturing a young child, especially ways in which hard work and dedication can make a huge difference in one's life. Katie: The Little Girl Who Stuttered and Learned to Talk Fluently achieves the ultimate goal of a children's book - to entertain and teach in equal measure. Katie's remarkable character will stay with you long after you've closed this heartwarming, insightful book.
