Tash Howlett: Why won't you f*cking speak?, Gebunden

Klappentext

A picture book for adults, not children.

This is not a children's book. It is written for adults who are quietly carrying thoughts they rarely say out loud.

Why Won't You F*cking Speak? is a raw, compassionate picture book for parents, carers, and loved ones, using a picture-book format to explore the emotional experience of raising a child who communicates in ways that may differ from expectations.

The title is not spoken to a child. It reflects the internal, unfiltered thoughts many parents experience in quiet moments, thoughts shaped by fear, love, uncertainty, and grief.

This book gives voice to the private thoughts that surface late at night. In waiting rooms. In comparison. In the wondering.

The fear. The guilt. The shame. The hope. Often all at once.

This is not a clinical guide or a milestone tracker. It does not rank, measure, or pathologise communication. It does not place responsibility or pressure on a child.

Instead, this book sits beside you.

Written by a mother with lived experience, Why Won't You F*cking Speak? offers validation, relief, and reassurance that your child is whole, capable, and worthy exactly as they are.

This book is for adult readers learning to hold space for both grief and growth, without placing that weight on the child.

Ideal for: Parents, carers, family members, and professionals supporting children who are non-speaking, minimally speaking, late-talking, or who communicate differently.
