Stuttering Sue:
What I Have to Say
Is Worth the Wait!
"Sometimes I stutter, sometimes I don't — but what I have to say matters most."
A heartfelt story about a girl who stutters — and discovers that her voice is not a weakness, it is a gift. Complete with affirmations, therapeutic guidance, and faith-based hope that reminds every reader: your voice matters, no matter how long it takes to say it.
A Story About Finding Your Voice
All Sue wants to do is run away. But she doesn't.
Sue knows what it feels like to open her mouth and have the words refuse to come — to feel the stares, the waiting, the heat rising in her face. She wants to disappear. But her mother knows something Sue hasn't learned yet: the pause isn't the problem. The pause is where the power is.
Through singing, acting, faith, and the gentle wisdom of her mother, Sue moves through her stutter and discovers something extraordinary — her voice was never broken. It was just waiting for the right moment. And when she finally speaks, she learns the truth: her stutter isn't something to overcome. It's something that makes her brave.
Complete with affirmations and therapeutic guidance, Stuttering Sue is designed to be read together — by parents and children, teachers and students, speech therapists and the kids they serve. Every page is an invitation to breathe, to believe, and to speak.
Pause · Breathe · Speak
The arc at the heart of every page
Sue feels the stutter coming. She wants to hide. The words won't come and the world feels too loud. But pausing isn't failing — it's the beginning of something brave.
Through her mother's wisdom, her faith, and the rhythm of singing, Sue learns to breathe through the fear. The breath becomes her anchor and her bridge.
She doesn't wait until she's not scared. She speaks anyway. Courage isn't the absence of the stutter — it's choosing to speak in spite of it. Sue discovers she was brave before she knew it.
"What I have to say is worth the wait." Her stutter isn't her limitation — it's her superpower. Her voice always mattered. It just needed the right moment to be heard.
Every Child's Voice Matters
So proud and inspired to see a book written for the innocent who are easy to be bullied because of stuttering. I believe this book will inspire many across the globe that all is ok and all will be just fine. Absolute must buy!
A beautiful story that speaks directly to children who stutter — and to everyone who loves them. The message is powerful: your voice matters, no matter how long it takes to say it.
The affirmations and therapeutic guidance woven through the story make this a gift for parents, teachers, and therapists alike. Susie's own experience makes every word feel true.
