<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An empowering picture book about a young boy with dyslexia who discovers a new way to look at reading"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>From California Governor Gavin Newsom comes an empowering picture book about a young boy with dyslexia who discovers a new way to look at reading.</b></b> <p/>Ben loves baseball. He loves the lines of diamond-shaped field and the dome of the pitcher's mound. What Ben doesn't like is reading. Ben has dyslexia, which means letters and sounds get jumbled up in his brain, and then the words don't make sense. But when Ben starts looking at reading like he looks at baseball, he realizes that if he keeps trying, he can overcome any obstacle that comes his way. <p/>In this empowering story by California Governor Gavin Newsom, inspired by his own childhood diagnosis of dyslexia, readers will learn that kids with the determination to try (and try again) can do big things. <p/>*This book is set in a font specifically designed to be easier for people with dyslexia to read.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Gavin Newsom</b> is the 40th Governor of California.
