What made you choose such a confronting image for the stammer? Do you think this might make children who stammer feel more vulnerable?
It was how I envisioned my stammer when I was a child: a little presence on my shoulder that stole words from me. I’m sure that all stammerers have their own relationships with their stammers – this was mine. Daniela, the illustrator, drew the stammer to look like this.
