This book makes me cry every time I read the ending. It's so touching in a wonderful way and truly makes me appreciate how fortunate I am to love literature. My 6 year old son loves it too and as a beginning teacher, I understand the importance of inspiring people and helping them overcome challenges.

I bought this book for my daughter. She is eight and has been recently diagnosed with dyslexia. She was not able to read the book because of the small print on the white paper. I plan to read it to her over the weekend and we will be able to enjoy it better when her colored lenses arrive in two weeks. I was just disappointed that a book about dyslexia and children was not more accommodating to their needs.

My Professor read this book to my Graduate Education class. What a tender yet profound story. It left a great impression upon all of us in my class. I agree that every classroom should have this book in their library. It not only tells of the trials and tribulations that a little girl with dyslexia goes through, it also has a number of lessons that children of all ages could benefit and learn from. Lessons such as compassion for their fellow classmates, and how to overcome problems (and so much more... just keep reading the reviews). I HIGHLY recommend this book.
