Sadie Says- Says

Sadie has so much to say - and so many wonderful ways to say it. In this joyful picture book about augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), readers meet Sadie: a bright, funny, big-hearted girl who communicates with her whole self. With a hug, a sign, a raise of her arms, or a tap on her talking tablet, Sadie says love, eat, up, yes, all done, go, help, play, more, no, want, and like - twelve powerful words that carry her through a day full of popcorn, bubbles, snuggles, and one very silly puppy. > This book is perfect for: - Children who use AAC - finally, a hero who talks like they do - Siblings, classmates, and friends - a warm introduction to communication devices and sign - Parents and caregivers - a story that celebrates every step of the communication journey - Speech-language pathologists and teachers - a read-aloud built entirely around core vocabulary, ready for therapy sessions, circle time, and inclusive classrooms Written by pediatric speech-language pathologist and AAC specialist Melba Acey, MSP, CCC-SLP, and brought to life with vibrant illustrations by Abbey Bryant, Sadie Says honors multimodal communication - devices, signs, gestures, expressions, and speech - and reminds every reader that all voices deserve to be heard. Because everyone has something to say.
