When the Stammer Came to Stay

Maggie O'Farrell, Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini (illustrator)

This is the story of two sisters, Min and Bea. Bea is very tidy, and a bit of a worrier. Min is wilder, and very chatty. That is, until one day when – in the middle of a sentence – she suddenly can’t speak. The sisters set out to discover what has happened to Min’s voice, and Min comes to realise that she has to make her peace with her stammer. A beautiful book based on the multi-award-winning author’s own experience of living with a stammer.

Ages 5-8
