When the stammer came to stay / Maggie O'Farrell ; illustrated by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini.
"Quiet Bea keeps her shoes polished, folds her clothes every night, and alphabetizes her books. Her rambunctious sister Min wears torn trousers and wades into ponds to collect frogspawn. Above all, Min is a storyteller who loves to chat with everyone. But one day she chokes, and the words forming in her mouth never make it out. Words suddenly feel dangerous, unwieldy. Min is no longer herself, not with some strange creature stealing her words, a creature not even her sister can see. But that doesn't matter, because Bea sees Min. Maggie O'Farrell pulls from her own experiences with stammering to create a realistic portrait of shaken self-confidence and how sharing painful situations with a loved one can make all the difference. This book will speak to listeners who have ever lost a part of themselves, and found something new in return"--OCLC.
