Helen Rutter has appeared on screens and stages, but has recently turned her hand to writing. Her first book, The Boy who Made Everyone Laugh, was released this month in the UK. It's a children's book inspired by her son's stammer and she wrote it to encourage other children who feel unheard to find their voice.
