The book is set to continue her teachings on YouTube and TikTok — where she has garnered more than 11 million followers — which promote language development in children with speech delays. She was originally inspired to create the videos after struggling to find help for her son, who also had trouble with his speech.
She first hit it big on YouTube in 2019 with her cheery “Songs for Littles,” and went on to create videos that are a 50-50 mix of classic kids' songs and original works to help kids learn communications skills.
