Inside The Book

Unspoken Weight was written from the experience of being a child whose behavior was often noticed before anyone stopped to ask what was behind it. That same child is sitting in classrooms, living in homes, and walking through the world right now. Sometimes the difference between being labeled and being understood is one adult willing to look a little closer. That’s what I hope this book can do. Help someone recognize what a child may not know how to say yet. So talk about it. Share it with someone. Tell a parent, a teacher, a mentor, or anybody who works with young people. You never know which conversation might help a child finally be seen.
