DESCRIPTION:
"A must have for every SLP!" according to slpkaty. I'm a Speech Language Pathologist, so I love stories about kids with speech and language disorders. This book is about a boy who stutters who grew up to advocate for animal protection. I was really excited when I found out about this book from a coworker. I read through it and oh man, it touched my SLP heart. I love the story line and was able to do a few therapy sessions with this book as the focus. It's so good for other people who stutter to understand that there are other people out there who share the same problems. Then we learned about the author, Alan Rabinowitz, who is an amazing guy. . Book of substance My 9 and 5 year old grandchildren really liked this book. It gave me an opportunity to talk with them about stuttering and how hard it would be if you had a lot of trouble saying what you wanted to. The idea that this boy could seemingly communicate with animals was very intriguing to them. This is a kids' book with some substance, but written and illustrated so that children can enjoy it at whatever level works for them.. Jan R. Schulman said lovely lovely book!. beautiful book. beautiful message. beautiful illustrations. simple but lovely language. have not yet shared it with the youngsters in my life, but pla to do so very soon.

Alan loves animals, but the great cat house at the Bronx Zoo makes him sad. Follow the life of the man Time Magazine calls, "the Indiana Jones of wildlife conservation" as he searches for his voice and fulfills a promise to speak for animals, and people, who cannot speak for themselves. This real-life story explores truths not defined by the spoken word.
