To Those Who Speak
'An epic, lyric, loving book; a cosmos between covers, illuminated by other ways of being and seeing. It will reach many people, and many people will reach for it.' - Robert Macfarlane
Bestselling author and artist Luke Adam Hawker explores fatherhood, friendship and what it means to find your voice in an unconventional way.
When it became apparent that his son Harry was likely to be non-verbal, Luke began to notice the many ways in which Harry was able to communicate with the world around him without words. In this, his third book, Luke explores the special relationship that Harry has with the world, and with their beloved family dog Robin: without words but always with love and understanding.
Follow Harry and Robin as they explore the world in their own way, learning from each other and supporting each other, even through the toughest times. This is a heartening and hopeful story, from the author and artist behind Sunday Times bestseller Together, and The Last Tree.
Luke Adam Hawker is a globally acclaimed artist celebrated for his compelling work, which is displayed in several prestigious collections including the Parliamentary Art Collection.
