Rob Shindler is a lawyer and a dad. He thinks his twins are beyond perfection, as all parents should, but then discovers his young son has a learning disability that prevents him from learning to read. At first, Rob feels defeated and throws in the towel, but then he decides that if he can teach illiterate adults to read, he will most certainly be able to do the same for his son. From that point begins a journey that had me weeping and smiling and laughing out loud. Rob joined Literacy Chicago where he met some of the most wonderful, inspiring, and humble adults who wanted nothing more in life than to be able to read (okay, he also met a potty mouthed young man who was full of anger and bluster and F-bombs, but it takes all kinds...). Their stories became part of Rob's story, which eventually became a part of Rob's family and life story. This brief little book sheds light on the illiterate adults in our nation who somehow fell through the cracks and just never learned to read, a skill many of us take for granted. By the time I finished reading Rob's story and about his experience with Literacy Chicago, I wanted to become a literacy tutor too. Rob shows how giving someone the gift of reading truly gives them the whole world. Well worth the read.
