As both a speech pathologist and children's author, I believe every voice matters, whether it whispers, shouts, signs, or stays beautifully silent.


I write books that celebrate communication differences and create tools that empower families to nurture their child's unique voice through play, connection, and joy.

My work bridges clinical expertise with heartfelt storytelling to support children who are still finding their words and the families who love them exactly as they are.


Because being heard isn't about volume, it's about being truly received.


We hear you.


We love you.


Exactly as you are.

What People Are Saying!

"As a dad, I can’t recommend Tiny Talkers by Tash Howlett enough! My little boy’s speech hasn’t come easily, but this book’s fun characters and playful sound games have us laughing and learning together. Written by a speech pathologist, it’s a heartfelt, easy way to support my son’s growing voice. A total win for us!"

Dad of 5-year-old,

Port Stephens

Brock

“My daughter has always loved books, but this one is different. It gives her permission to be noisy, playful, and creative with her voice. I’ve seen her confidence grow in just a few weeks, and she now uses sounds in pretend play with her friends.”


Dad of 5-year-old,

Sydney

James

"To say that my daughter loves Tash's book is an understatement! It is a staple in our bedtime routine. Mia loves to explore the beautiful illustrations and talk about what she sees. We have read it that many times that she can parrot the words on the story. I can't wait to see more books from Tash and add them to our collection!"

Mum of a 3-year-old,

Raymond Terrace

Shelly C

“My daughter is very shy and hesitant to speak in groups. Tiny Talkers has given her a safe way to explore her voice at home. Now she’s started to use the silly sounds at preschool too, which makes my heart burst with pride. A beautiful tool disguised as a fun book!”

Mum of a 5-year-old,

Gold Coast

Sam T

“My son is usually resistant to practicing sounds, but the Soundlings gave him ownership. He loves choosing which card to play with and teaching ME the sounds. I can see his confidence growing every day.”

Dad of 6-year-old, Hobart

Daniel

“My son isn’t usually keen on ‘learning’ activities, but he LOVES these cards. He pretends the Soundlings are his friends and says the phrases with the matching actions. Sometimes I have to hide the deck just to give myself a break!”

Mum of 4-year-old,

Sydney

Sarah M

“What I love most about Little Soundlings is the way it’s brought us closer. My son will grab a card, copy the phrase, then look straight at me and giggle until I do it back. It’s turned into our little game of back-and-forth play, and I can see his confidence shining through those shared moments.”

Mum of 4-year-old,

Hunter Valley

Laura T

“My daughter turned the deck into her own game. She lines the cards up, acts out the gestures, and says the phrases in different voices. I love how flexible it is. It’s not just ‘flashcards,’ it’s play, imagination, and practice rolled into one.”


Dad of 5-year-old,

Sydney

Ethan

“My daughter and I make a whole performance out of the cards. We take turns acting out the gestures and saying the phrases in silly voices. She loves when I get it ‘wrong’ on purpose, and it sparks so much laughter. It doesn’t just feel like speech practice, it feels like connection.”


Dad of 5-year-old,

Sydney

Mark M

“Our speechie recommended Little Soundlings, and I can see why. It gives us a fun, structured way to practise at home without any arguments. My daughter copies the gestures and phrases so enthusiastically, it’s like a game she actually wants to play.”


Mum of 4-year-old,

Hunter Valley

Mon G

“My son isn’t usually keen on ‘learning’ activities, but he LOVES these cards. He pretends the Soundlings are his friends and says the phrases with the matching actions. The bonus activity sheets gave me fresh ideas to keep it exciting—like hiding cards around the house for a treasure hunt, memory."


Dad of 4-year-old,

Hunter Valley

Steve H

“As a family, we try to keep screen-time low and focus on meaningful activities. Little Soundlings has been a brilliant alternative—engaging, interactive, and designed with speech development research in mind. I love knowing it’s not just fun, but also evidence-based. My daughter asks for the cards more than any toy in the house!”
