Iman Salam’s New Book, “Speaking of Blends…,” is a Captivating Educational and Interactive Tale Designed to Help Readers Who May Have Issues Forming “S” Blend Sounds
[ad_1]
Having grown up in Lebanon before moving to America at the age of thirteen, Iman Salam is an Arab American who pursued speech and language pathology as well as infant mental health and developmental practices. Having to adapt to novel and challenging environments while preserving her identity, Iman became passionate about empowering children from minority backgrounds as well as children with disabilities and those who have experienced war trauma.
Salam shares, “Through [my] experience of working with children on speech sounds, [I] noticed a gap between parents, educators, and speech-language therapists. This book was created to bridge that gap as it generalizes articulatory strategies and provides educators and parents with the tools needed to model the target speech sound. This book in particular was written to target the ‘sp’ sound blend. Upcoming books will target a variety of speech sounds.”
Published by Fulton Books, Iman Salam’s book contains interactive exercises that will help parents, guardians, and teachers alike to connect with readers of all ages, specifically those struggling with “s” blends, and help them to conquer making such sounds. With illustrations by Fatima Salam to help bring Iman’s tale to life, young readers are sure to enjoy “Speaking of Blends…: A Book by a Speech Language Pathologist” while gaining helpful knowledge to advance their verbalization and diction.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Speaking of Blends…: A Book by a Speech Language Pathologist” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

New Children’s Book Follows Three Boys Through County Fair Livestock Week
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Leslie J. Weatherford has published a new children’s book, "Farmer Fuzzy Pants Goes to the Fair," which follows three boys, Matt, Mark, and Joey, through a week of raising and showing livestock at the county fair. The book is out now through Page Publishing.
The story centers on fair week itself: stalls that need cleaning daily, animals that need tending, and a tractor pull along the way, all building toward an auction where the boys’ months of work with their cows, pigs, and chickens get put to the test. According to the book’s description, one of the three, Joey, has specific plans for what he wants to do with his earnings, but has to prove he’s put in the work before the bidding starts. The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and draws on real details of fair life, from animal tagging to auction-day bidding, to give young readers a sense of what livestock competition actually involves.
Weatherford, drawing on her Michigan heritage, started creating children’s stories in 2024 following her experience as a parent. "Farmer Fuzzy Pants Goes to the Fair" is her recent release under Page Publishing.
"I wanted to create a story that shows children how hard work translates into real results," Weatherford said in a statement, adding that she hopes readers see Matt, Mark, and Joey’s journey as proof that showing up every day and caring for responsibilities pays off in ways that go beyond ribbons and trophies.
The book is available at bookstores and online through Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of agricultural-life stories aimed at young readers who may never set foot on a farm, and that alone makes the genre worth keeping an eye on.

Amanda Solomon’s New Novel “Liberty” Follows a Woman Rebuilding Her Life in Laguna Beach
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Amanda Solomon has published a new novel, "Liberty," centered on a woman who relocates to Laguna Beach, California, to put a painful past behind her and start over. The book is available now through Page Publishing, in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
According to the book’s description, the protagonist’s fresh start takes an unexpected turn when she meets Duncan, who becomes a close confidant. Their relationship gradually surfaces secrets tied to her past, a thread that drives the novel’s central tension between forgetting and reckoning with what came before. An audiobook edition has also been released, running just over four hours and narrated by Olivia Liebe. The print edition runs 126 pages.
Solomon has said her interest in writing began with poetry in school, and she has pointed to Nicholas Sparks and Colleen Hoover as influences on her fiction, both known for relationship-driven, emotionally direct storytelling — a lineage that tracks with "Liberty"’s premise of self-discovery through friendship.
"This story is a deeply personal one," Solomon said in a statement, "and I hope it will inspire readers to embrace the power of resilience and the redemptive qualities of friendship."
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether the audiobook, with a named narrator already attached, helps the book find an audience beyond the usual churn of small-press debut fiction.
