Description
Purpose: The Astronaut's dialogue was intentionally written to highlight speech impairments, a challenge I have personally faced in my life. Growing up, I struggled with articulating certain speech sounds and found it disheartening that children's books rarely featured characters with speech disabilities. This book aims to provide comfort and visibility to children who face similar challenges.
