Description
'This is the first of its kind: a book about children and teens with dyslexia, told by the young people themselves. In more than 100 interviews, 8 - 18 year olds from around the world show how they have honed the creative benefits of dyslexia, finding ways to thrive inside and outside school. They include top tips for teachers everywhere and their own imaginative illustrations. This inspirational collection contains valuable wisdom about how to increase confidence and self-esteem - from those who know best.'--Provided by publisher.
