Author: Alice Brand with Henrietta McLachlan and Samantha Channing.

Please Wait For Me! is a rhyming story that helps young children understand that some of their friends may need a little more time to talk and share their ideas.

Through the story of Sammy, children see how it can feel when words are difficult to find, and learn the importance of patience, kindness and giving others time to express themselves.

Written to support children who experience communication difficulties, including challenges with information processing, word finding and sentence building, this child-friendly book also helps peers, families and practitioners encourage understanding and inclusion in everyday situations.

Suitable for children aged 3–7, it is an ideal resource for use at home, in early years settings and in the classroom.

A beautifully well written, colourful illustrated book . Gives a real insight as to how children feel who have communication issues. It’s such a helpful tool for the children and the friends around them. Would highly recommend it. This book should be in every school as a go too when children are struggling.

Please Wait For Me is a wonderful story that highlights the importance of patience and understanding for children with speech and language difficulties. It shows how support from friends and teachers can help a child find their voice and grow in confidence. With beautiful illustrations this book is a must have for any classroom.

'Please wait for me!' Addresses the common misconception that filling in someone else's words when they are struggling is helpful for them. It helps other children understand the importance of letting their friends become independent and grow their confidence. It's a lovely book.
