I Talk Like Me

Winner of The Golden Wizard Book Prize
and Book of the Year Finalist 2025

I Talk Like Me is a tender, lyrical celebration of the many ways children communicate - especially those who speak in full phrases, repeat what they’ve heard, or express themselves through movement, sound, and gesture.

Inspired by Gestalt Language Processors, this book honors the voices that don't always follow expected paths, but are just as meaningful, rich, and real. With warmth and wonder, it affirms that there is no wrong way to talk, and that love always understands.

Written for children who speak in their own way and for those learning how to listen. I Talk Like Me is a story of belonging, acceptance, and the beauty of every unique voice.
