Review title: An inspirational story about overcoming a reading disability
Product review: I was disappointed with the Kirkus review. That reviewer obviously has never tried on someone else's moccasins for a walk. As a school librarian and mother of 3 boys with learning disabilities, one of the hardest messages to get across the way LD kids feel. This book and this author eloquently describe the fear and anxiety of a child who desperately wants to read but needs more help and support than she's been given, until Mr. Falker comes to her aid.Polacco's verbal imagery,--of her grandparents "letting go of the grass", for example, and the illustrative imagery make this more than an ordinary story of overcoming the odds.I have already shared this book with Language Arts teachers and SpEd teachers in my school and all plan to incorporate the story into the curriculum.
