"Can You Help Frankie?" is an engaging book that helps children overcome speech delays through repetition. Each section asks the reader if they can help Frankie complete a task and uses the repetition of small words to explain what she needs to do or what she can see happening. For example, the story begins by assisting Frankie to turn on the light and uses the word "on" as the repetition word. As she completes each task, the words used in the story encourage Frankie that she is doing a great job and to keep going. This beautiful picture book incorporates bright, realistic illustrations, and I highly recommend it to parents or teachers to assist young children with speech difficulties.

Can You Help Frankie? is a touching and inspiring story about a little girl named Frankie who, despite her speech delay, learns to express herself with the help of her friends and readers. Through engaging repetition and a heartfelt narrative, Frankie’s journey highlights the importance of patience and perseverance. I enjoyed this book for its warm, encouraging message and the way it empowers young readers to support each other and celebrate progress.

I'm a bit confused by the secondary title, but I loved the little book and the way it encourages the reader to help Frankie in many simple ways.
The illustrations by Jerrell Cormier are simple, imaginative, colorful, and fun.
Well suited for reading WITH someone including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary uncorrected proof e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from the author who independently published it (IBPA) via NetGalley. Thank you!
