Great Read!

My kids ended up getting all 3 of your books and they’re constantly on high rotation for bedtime reading! You are up there with Julia Donaldson in their eyes.

All in all, a great book!

Debbie has worlds of experience about the challenges children face. She writes with charm and wisdom.
“Too Many Words” is a terrific book.
While a joy for all kids and families, teachers and speech language pathologists will particularly love this book and find it a powerful teaching tool.
So many children today struggle with pragmatics, the unwritten rules of social interaction. While “Too Many Words” focuses specifically on Annabelle’s dilemma of talking too much and listening too little, the story is delightfully open, enabling conversation to lead into many other areas - being too loud, too tactless, too lacking in empathy, for example, and, not least, the use of figurative language, which so many children struggle with. After all, might the world really run out of words if Annabelle uses too many of them?
All in all, a great book!
