Why won't you fucking speak?

This isn’t a guidebook or a story written for children. It’s a bedtime book for adults, for the parents still wide awake with love, hope and heartache.

This raw and unapologetic picture book captures the heartbreak, frustration and hope of parenting a child who doesn’t yet use 'words' to communicate. Told with honesty and tenderness, it reflects the hidden grief, the waiting and the fierce love behind every “why won’t you speak?” moment. It also affirms that every child’s journey is valid, worthy and unique.

Written by Tash Howlett a mum of two boys. This book is NOT for kids. It is for the adults walking the messy and beautiful road of raising them

Perfect for You If…
You’re supporting a child aged 2–5 years who:

✅

Isn’t yet saying all the speech sounds expected for their age

Is showing early or emerging preverbal communication skills, such as:

Watching your face during interactions
Making sounds or gestures to get your attention
Reaching, pointing, giving, or showing objects
Starting to imitate sounds, actions, or facial expressions
Taking part in shared play or moments of joint attention

You’re on a waitlist for speech therapy, in-between sessions, or wanting to do more at home to support your child’s communication journey in a fun, pressure-free way.

You want to create joyful, sound-rich moments at home, using play, movement, and character-based learning — not flashcards or drill.

You’re a parent, career, early childhood educator, or speech pathologist who values connection, imagination, and engagement as the foundation for speech and language development.
