Including the extra time at the start of the day he used to get to play chess with his mom. He's convinced his days will never be the same. Then, he meets one little girl on the school bus, who offers to be his new chess partner...and suddenly the right move comes into view.

When new student, Violet, joins Mr. Garcia's class, everyone gives her a warm welcome. Especially Mandy and two become fast friends. Mandy admires Violet, especially her confidence when talking in front of the whole class. Even if Violet does it a little differently than most (Violet has apraxia of speech, which means she uses a tablet to help her speak). So, when it's Mandy's turn to get in front of the whole class to speak--for show and tell--she enlists the help of Violet. Together, the two help Mandy calm her nerves and find her voice. Written in partnership with a tenured pediatric speech language pathologist, Jeremy's Big Role is both a fun story time read and a vetted resource for caregivers looking to have first conversations with young children about supporting their peers.
