Sammy and the Magic Stones: Journeys in Language Learning: Supporting Developmental Language Disorder

By Anne Laurie Ph.D.

Join Sammy the Salmon on a Magical Journey of Feelings, Friendship, and Finding the Right Words

Sammy Salmon loves racing river bubbles and playing with his forest friends, but sometimes his feelings are bigger than the words he can find. When the words he needs feel slippery and hard to catch, Sammy can't always keep up, and he starts to worry that he won't be a good friend.

Everything begins to change when Oliver the wise owl shows Sammy a set of magic stones that hold special feeling words. With help from his forest friends, Sammy learns a simple strategy to slow down, name his feelings, and say the words he needs.

But when a stormy adventure turns scary and Sammy loses his magic stones, he must discover something even more powerful.

Will Sammy find the courage to use his words when it matters most?

With bravery, friendship, and a little river magic, Sammy learns that the real magic has been inside him all along.

This book is perfect for families, educators, and children learning to understand big feelings, build confidence, and find their voice in their own unique way.
