by Patricia Polacco; Patricia Polacco (Illustrator)
Tricia struggles in elementary school because she has difficulty learning to read. Her classmates call her dumb, despite her many talents. Finally, in fifth grade, she is lucky enough to have a teacher who recognizes her problem and helps her succeed. Although dyslexia is never mentioned in the book, this story will provide great reassurance to children who struggle to overcome learning disabilities.
