I m very glad you said you have written a book that depicts people with stuttering in a different, more beautiful light. Last year I wrote a paper on the bullying of American children who stutter due to poor media portrayal. In researching that topic, I noted that there are far more media images of stuttering as negative than positive. It's great that there is one more book that can hopefully help children who stutter realize that there is nothing wrong with who they are. Children and adults alike should not have to feel such negative feedback from their peers, but hopefully people will read your book and have less hidden/covert issues with stuttering. Thank you for sharing your story!
