REVIEW: All The Life I Could Not Speak (Shubelle John Baptiste)




This book could help kids or even adults struggling in difficult social situations, regardless of where you are in the spectrum. I relate to most situations and wish I had read something like this.

The illustrations are wonderful. I am sure it's much nicer to hold this book in its physical format. In my opinion, the language is a bit too complex and mouthful at times for a children's book, but on the plus side, it doesn't simplify the situations and is most likely more acceptable to a wide range of readers.

Overall, I think this is a wonderful book, a wonderful gift, and I could see a child clinging to this book and growing up with it, feeling understood as they flip every page.

4 of 5 stars
