What readers are saying...

"I got this book for the boys today! Both boys were excited to read it and both commented on how the illustrations were very colourful. Emmett enjoyed the story and finished it quickly, Robbie waited until before bed and also enjoyed it. Emmett deals with some of the same topics that this book talks about, language!

​

He sometimes has to think through what he wants to say, but even then, it can still be hard to get out! We were able to talk about the story and how Drew was kinda the same as Emmett. This was an absolute hit and I cannot wait to give the second copy to the SLP dept this week! Wonderful accomplishment!"
