<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Through a story from his own childhood, Hudson Talbott shares the challenges--and ultimately the rewards--of being a non-mainstream kind of learner"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A beautifully rendered and deeply inspiring book for everyone who has ever read slowly--myself included! Hudson shows us the beauty and magic that can come from taking our time. Brilliant."--Jacqueline Woodson<br/> <br/>Hudson Talbott's inspiring story vividly reveals the challenges--and ultimately the rewards--of being a non-mainstream kind of learner.</b> <p/>When Hudson Talbott was a little boy, he loved drawing, and it came naturally to him. But reading? No way! One at a time, words weren't a problem, but long sentences were a struggle. As his friends moved on to thicker books, he kept his slow reading a secret. But that got harder every year. He felt alone, lost, and afraid in a world of too many words.<br/> Fortunately, his love of stories wouldn't let him give up. He started giving himself permission to read at his own pace, using the words he knew as stepping-stones to help draw him into a story. And he found he wasn't so alone--in fact, lots of brilliant people were slow readers, too. Learning to accept the fact that everyone does things in their own unique way, and that was okay, freed him up and ultimately helped Hudson thrive and become the fabulous storyteller he is today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "With a directness similar to Jordan Scott's <i>I Talk Like a River</i>, this story addresses the stigma surrounding dyslexia...<b> </b>Leavened with humor, charm, and a child's self-empowerment, this is an important book both for struggling readers and for classmates who need to cultivate a dose of empathy."--<i>School Library Journal</i>, <b>starred review <p/></b>Emphasizing sheer persistence as the way through, this is a personal, visually arresting read for those who may find themselves learning at a different pace.
