Synopsis:

I talk like a river is an illustrated book that deals with the theme of diversity, disability and emotional management of the difficulties associated with non-acceptance by peers. The protagonist who is unable to speak ‘correctly’, as the others do and expect him to do, finds in the silence and the muttering of the river the possibility to relate and feel ‘heard’ and free to express himself.
