I chose to write it for personal reasons because two of my children had delayed speech and I found it frustrating that there weren't any books of this kind available. Practising tongue and mouth movements is a great way to strengthen facial muscles and help speech development. I wanted something that was fun and child friendly to capture their concentration and which I could pick up and use on a daily basis. All children love making silly faces, so I hope this book will be a great addition to any child's book collection." - PREFACEReview: Karina has written this book to help children with delayed language development strengthen their facial muscles, and gain dexterity.
