Welcome, and thank you for being here.
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.
Reviews
“This book touched me deeply. As a parent of a child with delayed speech, it gave me hope and reminded me that every child blooms in their own time. The story is gentle, reassuring, and beautifully told.”

“I read this to my students, and they loved it. The rhymes flow smoothly, and the illustrations captured their attention. It also sparked a wonderful conversation about the many ways kids can communicate.”

“This is more than just a children’s book — it’s a message of patience, love, and understanding. My child asked to read it again right away, and I think it’s going to become a bedtime favorite.”
