See you soon! They get stuck at the back of his throat, they grow roots inside his mouth, they just make him mumble instead of speak. This affects him a lot and he withdraws from his friends and sits at the back of his class. This connection with nature gives him tremendous strength to accept himself. I liked how the book established a parallel between two seemingly unrelated ideas.
The angst of the little boy comes out so clearly through the words and you feel for him as he struggles to push out the words from his mouth. This note is heartfelt and while kids might not understand it, adults ought to read it. The illustrations are in water-colour style, apt for a book with the river as a central idea. But they suit the tone of the story well.
Vad innebär det att vara ”jordnära”?
I am not sure if little readers would enjoy the slightly blurry effect on a few pages but those who appreciate art will see the beauty of the pages. The official age range is years but there are a few difficult words in the content so reading assistance will be required. Author 11 books 3, followers. James Earl Jones stuttered.

Jackson, Kendrick Lamar, Nicole Kidman, the list goes on and on and on. Thin on the ground. Until the moment I Talk Like a River was introduced to me, the sole book for kids I would have been able to conjure up from memory would have been the Newbery Award winning middle grade novel Paperboy by Vince Vawter. A fine and worthy book, but not one that could claim to be all things to all people.
Serviceable books with pointed reasons for existing.

Not beautiful books. Not books that speak beyond themselves. Not, in short, I Talk Like a River. Deft poetic language pairs with the resonant watercolors of Sydney Smith to create a book that is more than a memoir and more than conveying a message. This is pain, turned into art, and written for young children. To understand what these sounds are.
