The Mums of the Shire website aims to provide the answers to these never-ending questions, to make your parenting journey just that little bit easier and a whole lot more fun.

These might look like simple toddler books, but there’s a lot more happening on every page. 👀📚
Knock Knock is a new interactive board book series created by Sydney paediatric speech pathologist and mum of two, Helena Saab, founder of The Speechie Mumma.

Inspired by early communication and language strategies, little visual cues throughout the books encourage parents to pause, gesture, repeat and point to their mouth as they read, giving toddlers more opportunities to join in and communicate.

And importantly, it’s not about turning story time into speech therapy. It’s about making simple communication strategies feel natural within something you’re already doing together. ❤️

Designed for children around 1 to 4 years, the books are suitable for little ones communicating through looks, gestures, sounds or words.
There are two titles available to pre-order:

📖 Knock Knock: Toys & Animals
📖 Knock Knock: Fruits & Animals

Families can purchase the books individually or as a two-book bundle, but if you want to see what The Speechie Mumma is really all about, there’s also the Complete Collection.

It includes both Knock Knock books, plus:
✨ The Speechie Mumma Parent Handbook
✨ What Do I Say?
✨ Everyday Reminder
✨ What’s Typical & When to Reach Out
✨ Parent Video Library
✨ FREE shipping

The Complete Collection is valued at $119 and currently $89.95 during pre-order, before returning to $119 once the books arrive in October.

Available for pre-order now at thespeechiemumma.com

A lovely resource for parents wanting simple, practical ways to support communication and connection in the everyday moments that are already happening. 💛
