Runaway Words

by Patricia Taylor, Wendy Leach (Illustrator)

There is nothing like the bond between siblings, especially when that relationship includes a disabled sibling. Addi doesn't understand why her big brother Charlie can't talk to her. When her mom tells her that Charlie lost his words, Addi, with some help from her younger brother, embarks on a mission to find them. She looks all over and tries everything she can think of to find Charlie's lost words. In the end, she discovers there is more to communication than just words and more than one way to say "I love you."This book will appeal to a wide variety of audiences, especially anyone touched by disability and the communication challenges that occur with disabilities like autism, cerebral palsy, apraxia, speech disorders and developmental disabilities.

This book is awesome. It is very sweet, I had to put it down and dry my eyes the first couple of pages. A true life story that is told is a fun, kindhearted and enlightening way. the illustration is wonderful. I bought copies for each of my grandchildren. looking forward to Patricia's next book.
