Welcome
My name is Apolonia Valiente, and The Words Will Come was written from a place very close to my heart. It was inspired by my son and the quiet strength I see in him every day.
If you're here, maybe you're a parent like me, walking beside a child who’s still finding their words. Or maybe you're an educator, a family member, or someone who simply believes every child deserves to be seen and understood, even in the quiet moments.
This space was created for you.
To remind you that you’re not behind.
That connection comes in many forms.
And that with time, support, and love, the words will come.

Such a beautiful and touching story! This book does an excellent job of helping children understand and appreciate differences, especially when it comes to speech and communication. Through Milo’s journey, young readers learn the importance of kindness, patience, and acceptance toward peers who may express themselves in different ways. It’s a wonderful resource for parents and teachers to open conversations about empathy and inclusion.
My 5 year old son loved the book and was able to relate it with his aunt who is special needs. A great book to teach kids to understand how it feels to be in his shoes and also to understand how to treat kids like Milo. Great book!

What a powerful message. I often teach in Special Education, and this book gives a voice to all those kids who are still waiting for their words to come. I enjoyed the rhyme and the message!
