As a former fourth grade teacher, two things jumped out immediately about this book. One, the publishers created this book to have the look and feel of a middle grade novel even though the text is simple to read and the word count is quite low. Next, they printed it on cream colored paper, which was an important modification I made for my students with dyslexia. One of my students told me that when she looked at words on that color of background they "stopped moving around on the page". I think this book was well done.

An excellent and inspiring look at dyslexia. Vanita strikes again!

I enjoyed this book so much that I am going to introduce it to my classroom for the few students that have dislexia! I feel that we should let others know about things of this nature so that when you meet someone who has something of this nature wrong with them, theyll understand them better and be less likely to bully!

The reading level is too low for my high school students, but my 9 year old enjoyed it.

Very good book for elementary children to understand Dyslexia and what these readers must go through. I think any book that shines the light and brings awareness is a splendid idea. Awareness creates change and a better world for all.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review

If you're looking for a book that explains dyslexia to your classroom or children, this isn't it. Instead the author highlights how kids with dyslexia are "normal" kids looking for something they can do well. Written in rhyme and illustrated in black-and-white, this book has the tone of a picture book for older readers. Its rhythm and picture clues help struggling readers decode new words and find the natural cadence of speech which can enhance their fluency. I feel like this book (and its techniques) could be used in a chapter book that would to help push struggling readers to the next level. Overall, I would recommend this book.

I thought this was a great story as it was told through the eyes of a child with dyslexia. Even though it is fiction, and he has a challenge to overcome in life, he finds a way to be optimistic in life, and finds something that he really enjoys, and is good at. I loved the fun illustrations that went along with the story, and even noticed in one of them another of the author's books, "Bonyo Bonyo." I think this book will be great in school libraries and classrooms, as well as at homes with dyslexic children.
