Steggie's Stammer by Jack Hughes
Steggie has a stammer and sometimes it takes her a bit longer than others to get her words out. Her friends are in a hurry to play a game and rush off without listening to her warning into the Deep, Dark and Scary Forest. Before long, the friends get into trouble and it's up to Steggie to rescue them. But will they listen to her advice? Endorsed by the British Stammering Association, this gentle book tells the tale of Steggie the dinosaur and how her friends help her cope with her stammering.
I think this is an attractively told tale which introduces stammering effectively as part of what Steggie does, and not what she is- as she is shown to have many good qualities that a young child would recognise as desirable, and is quite a well rounded characterSteggie emerges as courageous, knowledgable and resourceful which is an image that presents a positive picture of the child who stammers. -- Cherry Hughes British Stammering Association
