Gordon, Tyler

The Boy Who Found His Voice

(3) K-3 Tyler has a stutter, which makes it hard to express himself, especially during show-and-tell. With support from his mother and via his own determination, Tyler gains the confidence to express himself through painting. The vibrant illustrations incorporate key words from the text and show the difference between the clarity of Tyler’s thoughts and the difficulty of his speech. An author’s note from teen artist and activist Gordon makes personal connections to this affirming fictional story.
