I, I, I, Got Next

by Joseph Donaher (Author), Nahjee Grant (Author), Maurice Jackson Jr. (Illustrator)

Calvin was a regular kid. He loved basketball, history and was a big fan of potato chips. Those are things he had in common with many other kids. However, there was one thing that, for better or worse, made Calvin stand out above the rest, he stuttered.

For Calvin, being a stutterer meant two things: it was often better not to talk, even if he had something to say, and no matter what he had to say, he couldn’t say it all the time, which usually led him to stick with the former.

In this chapter book, you will be able to experience a small portion of what someone like Calvin experiences on a daily basis. Through his story of overcoming, you will have the opportunity to find your true voice and learn that no matter what challenges life gives us, acceptance, self-worth, and strength will always lead us to success and happiness.
