“When the Stammer Came to Stay is a book about stammering, but it is also a book about love, kindness and sensitivity. It is one of those rare books that leaves a warm feeling, and for some it might just go a little further and leave a better understanding of stammering, and an idea of how to achieve a positive outlook in life.” – STAMMA British Stammering Association From Maggie O'Farrell, the best-selling and award-winning author of Hamnet – now a Bafta and Golden Globe-winning film starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal – comes a hopeful, powerful and stunningly illustrated new book, based on Maggie's own experience on living with a stammer. - An ideal gift and a truly enchanting read. - Perfect for children aged 5-8 with themes of self-confidence, anxiety, stammering, sisterhood, myth and folklore.
