Talking Shirts - Nisrine El Choueifati

We are all storytellers! 

Through the words we speak—and the ones we don’t our stories are being written and received in the clothes we wear and the things we love.

As a storytelling speech therapist and author, I’ve learned that communication
 is far more than words. It’s about being attuned to the stories people the l us
 and what speaks to them in ways that go beyond language. Having worked with children for over two decades, when I first meet a child a way I can start a relationship, learn about their interests and take the pressure of using words I can start a conversation looking at the shirts they wear. 

Enjoy this short rhyming story which invites children to be seen and heard and share stories through the shirts they wear. 

" The shirts I wear have lots to say,
 about the things that make my day.
 They speak of dreams, adventures,
 too,
 and give a glimpse of what I like to
 do."
