There was a young boy names James Earl Jones, who spoke with a stutter and dreaded having to talk in class.\n\nWhenever James tried to voice his thoughts, his words got stuck in his throat. But James figured out a solution for his shame: if he didn't speak, he wouldn't stutter.\n\nAnd so he was silent...until he wrote his own poem, Ode to Grapefruit, and found a love for poetry.\n\nLyrical text, stunning art, and compelling backmatter about stuttering pair together for a remarkable picture book about how a boy who refused to speak for eight years learned to manage his stutter through poetry--and grew up to become an EGOT-winning performer with a voice few could forget.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 059337276X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.059337276X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lavelle, Kari|Collier, Bryan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
