Learning to read can be a challenge for anyone.This book focuses on a child learning to read with dyslexia. We follow along as they work through their book, anxious to find out the ending. They struggle and work doggedly, focusing on how they best deal with words seemingly piled on a page in front of them until they achieve success!
The illustrations are just as powerful, if not more so than the words, bringing the emotion our main character is feeling to us as we read his story. This is an important book to allow kids to feel seen and raise understanding among others.

4-9 years old
