Talking is Not My Thing

Meet a little girl who doesn't speak but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t communicate. In Talking is Not My Thing, we experience a day in the life of a nonverbal autistic child, narrated from her perspective with warmth, humour and honesty. With expressive illustrations and simple yet powerful text, this story celebrates different ways of being, expressing and connecting.

At Big Heart Book Club, we believe inclusion means making space for all voices, including those communicated through actions, gestures or quiet strength. This book is a joyful reminder that communication comes in many beautiful forms and every child should be heard, seen and understood.
