Out of all the books I 've read about disabilities this is definitely my personal favorite. I think this book is very powerful because it brings people who have learning disabiities to talk about their personal experiences. I could definitely relate to how the kids were feeling having dyslexia and adhd because as a kid I genuinely don't know what I had but I'm pretty sure it was ADD. I mean I qualified for 504 and I couldn't really pay attention but I never took any medicine for it and no one ever told me what it was so I'm assuming it was ADD. I just loved how this book had the children write their own personal stories and tips for other children with disabilities. I would definitely read this book to my class because it helps other students understand that children with learning disabilities are the same as them but they just learn differently. ( )

This is a book about eight different children who have different learning disabilities. Each child has a different learning disability, but they all share somewhat common goals. They also each enjoy different hobbies, school subjects, or sports. At the end of each child's story, they include a tip. For example, Joe's tip is, "As far as learning disabilities go, I say don't give up. You just have to work hard. Believing in myself has helped a lot". I really liked the tips, they show readers that despite learning disabilities, they can still do anything that any other person can. ( )
