Hi everyone
Meet Charlie Baker Jr., a fourth grader with a big heart, a bold spirit, and a stutter that sometimes takes the "scenic route". Whether he's building out Lego sets, grappling in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or reading stories about superheroes, Charlie's always ready to take on the day-even when his words don't come out quite right.
When his class is assigned the "Hero Project", Charlie knows exactly who he wants to talk about... but saying it out loud is a whole different story. With the help of his speech class, a loyal dog named Biscuit, and a paperclip bracelet for courage, Charlie sets out to prove that being brave doesn't mean being perfect-it means speaking up anyway.
Full of heart, humor, and hope, Charlie Ummms Finds His Voice is a celebration of resilience, self-acceptance, and the courage to be heard-ummms and all.
Perfect for readers ages 6-10, speech classrooms, SEL/IEP kiddos, and every kid who's ever been nervous to speak-but did it anyway.
