In this episode, we sit down with Michelyve Allen, a dedicated pediatric speech-language pathologist and the author of BAM the Tiny Brave Elephant. Michelyve has spent her career supporting children in developing essential communication skills, and her passion for helping young learners led her to create BAM—a small elephant with a big heart and even bigger bravery.
We dive into the inspiration behind BAM’s story, how Michelyve’s work in speech-language pathology influenced her writing, and the important messages of resilience and self-confidence woven into the book. She also shares insights into her writing process, the challenges she faced in publishing, and how BAM the Tiny Brave Elephant can be a valuable tool in educational and therapeutic settings.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about storytelling, overcoming obstacles, and the power of language in shaping young minds.
