You are not your struggles. You are not your disabilities.

This book is wonderful. The positive message it gives children with dyslexia (and those who have other struggles) is to always aim high and find out what you are good at. I love that over half of the book was the boys discovery of his talent as well as all of the good things about himself. It didn’t linger on the dyslexia and ask us to accept him, it shows us who he is as a person who happens to have dyslexia.

It didn’t bother me that the illustrations were all in black and white. I felt it made the story vivid and bold.
