$Liz is a Black woman with a big smile that shows her teeth. She has straightened black hair cut into a bob and is wearing a short-sleeved, v-neck white top with a delicate gold chain around her neck that has a small pendant on it in the shape of the island of Jamaica. She is standing outside, against an exposed brick wall.\n$

When the Stammer Came to Stay

Author: Maggie O'Farrell

Illustrator: Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini

A lovely book that thoughtfully examines what it’s like to have a stammer, and the ways other people might misunderstand it. The stammer is visualised as a word-stealing creature that Min must learn to co-exist with. Self-acceptance, sisterhood and self-esteem are key themes.
