Hi all - thank you to Brian for allowing me to post here.

When words get tangled, love finds a new voice. Meet Harriet, a lively girl 
whose world turns upside down when her mum has a stroke and develops 
aphasia, a language disorder that makes speaking and understanding words 
hard ​. Guided by a warm speech therapist and fueled by crayons, picture 
boards and endless imagination, Harriet and her family learn the new ways 
we talk-from pointing at pizza to finishing each other's words .

The New Ways We Talk is a heartfelt picture book that turns a complex 
medical reality into a hopeful celebration of family, resilience and 
alternative communication. Written by leading aphasia expert Dr Brielle C. 
Stark, it blends clinical accuracy with gentle storytelling, ensuring every 
page rings true for families, educators and therapists alike ​.

Why this book matters:
* One of very few mainstream children's stories about aphasia. More than 2 
million Americans live with aphasia, yet kids' literature is almost silent 
on the topic.
* Promotes inclusive communication. Kids see pictures, gestures and 
teamwork in action-perfect for classrooms exploring disability awareness, 
speech therapy and neurodiversity.
* Empowers young caregivers. Harriet models empathy and practical 
strategies any child can try at home.
* Back-of-book resources. A simple glossary and conversation tips give 
parents and professionals ready-to-use tools.

Perfect for
* Families adjusting to stroke recovery or any language disorder
* Speech-language pathologists and rehabilitation teams
* Teachers building social-emotional learning or health education units
* Libraries seeking fresh titles on diversity and inclusion
