Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Winner A New York Times
Best Children's Book of the Year   What if words got stuck in the back of your mouth whenever
you tried to speak? What if they never came out the way you wanted them to? Sometimes it takes
a change of perspective to get the words flowing.    I wake up each morning with the sounds of
words all around me.    And I can't say them all . . .   When a boy who stutters feels isolated
alone  and incapable of communicating in the way he'd like  it takes a kindly father and a walk
by the river to help him find his voice. Compassionate parents everywhere will instantly
recognize a father's ability to reconnect a child with the world around him.  Poet Jordan Scott
writes movingly in this powerful and ultimately uplifting book  based on his own experience
