The Dancing Letters
Age range 3+
An endearing family story about love and dyslexia.
Olivia is a little girl full of life and imagination. But when her grandmother asks her to write a story for her birthday, Olivia feels a little unsure. Because when it comes to writing, things never go as she intended. Words thumb their noses at her. Lowercase letters turn into uppercase letters. Subjects and verbs don't always agree. How can Olivia write a story when words and letters won’t cooperate?
A sweet story that tackles the theme of dyslexia with sensitivity and highlights our ability to overcome difficulties with the support of those who love us.
