Why are we we publishing this book?
Writer and person-who-stutters Jelmer Soes wanted to create a book about stuttering. One you can often laugh at, and are allowed to laugh at. At the same time, it offers both empowerment and reassurance. Coen Hamelink makes everything livelier and lighter with his witty and colourful illustrations.
The Big Cheerful Book about Stuttering is packed with funny facts and stories about stuttering. It includes interviews with Well-Known Dutch People Who Stutter, and answers to the Quite Quirky Questions—also known as the Q-Q-Questions.
Of course, there’s also The Big Serious Stuttering Chapter, along with a convincing argument that while stuttering can be incredibly frustrating, it can sometimes actually be pretty useful.
A cheerful, richly illustrated non-fiction book for children in grades 4 through 6 (roughly ages 9–12). For kids who stutter, their classmates, friends, and family members—but also for anyone who loves jokes, cartoons, quirky facts, and clear explanations.
