Racky the raccoon has lots of words in his head, but when he tries to talk, they get jumbled instead of said.
Racky is a clever little raccoon who is great at using his hands to communicate through sign language but finds it difficult to communicate with his mouth. One day, while out on a walk with his mom, Racky stumbles upon a mysterious cave filled with something fascinating: letters! As he explores these hidden treasures, he learns how the funny shapes can come together to create sounds. With his newfound knowledge, Racky discovers how to use letter sounds to create words he can communicate through speech as well as with his hands.
Racky’s Magic Letters, a heartwarming and beautifully illustrated children’s book from author Jenna Anderson, offers a gentle introduction to speech delay, celebrating the many ways we can share our thoughts and feelings. Perfect for young readers, this story fosters understanding and empathy, encouraging every child to find their own voice, whether through signs, words, or both.
