Author Jordan Scott and Illustrator Sydney Smith talk about their book I TALK LIKE A RIVER with Sylvia M. Vardell, Ph.D.Professor at Texas Woman's University School of Library & Information Studies, with a focus on Poetry for Young People. A year on from publication, what are the takeaways from the Author/Illustrator duo? The discussion covers a variety of topics, from how poetry allows for creative expression in depicting speech types (specifically stuttering) to the way in which the illustrations impact the way in which the text is read.
We’re chatting today timed to International Stuttering Awareness Day, which is October 22nd.

You can find Jordan Scott at @jscottwrites on Twitter and @squeezedlight on Instagram and Sydney Smith at @Sydneydraws on Twitter and Instagram.
