"An empowering story about starting school with dyslexia that celebrates everyone's differences"
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month June 2023
Starting school is fun for ebullient and noisy Trixie! She loves her teacher and her friends. She loves numbers and stories and lunchtime. But, she finds learning to read very difficult. The letters just don’t make words for her. They all just get jumbled up.
Suddenly, school is not so much fun after all. Luckily, Dad knows just how Trixie feels because he found learning to read difficult too. Dad explains that everyone learns things in different ways. And everyone has a super power which helps them to learn in their own way.
Rebecca Ashdown’s warm and witty illustrations bring this optimistic and inspiring story vividly to life.
Trixie is the smallest person in Primrose Tower, but also the loudest and the building's residents have given her an affectionate nickname: THUNDERBOOTS.
