How To Talk To Me!

Every voice deserves to be heard - including yours!

Have you ever talked to someone who stutters and weren’t sure what to do?

In How to Talk to Me: Stuttering 101, young author and artist Michaela Kalemera shares her own personal journey with stuttering and teaches readers how to listen with kindness, patience, and respect.

Through colorful illustrations, simple ＂rules,＂ and real-life advice, this book helps kids understand what stuttering is and how to make conversations feel safe and comfortable for everyone. Readers will learn:

• Why listening to someone’s words matters more than how they sound
• How to stay calm, patient, and supportive
• What to do (and NOT do!) when talking with someone who stutters
• How kindness, curiosity, and respect can make a big difference

Filled with heart, hope, and encouragement, this booklet reminds us that we are all unique-and all worthy of being heard.

A perfect resource for classrooms, families, and anyone who wants to help make the world a kinder, more understanding place.
