A little boy who loves storytelling but struggles with writing learns that it' s okay to make mistakes in this charming and encouraging picture book from the author of Mommy' s Khimar. Abdul loves to tell stories. But writing them down is hard. His letters refuse to stay straight and face the right way. And despite all his attempts, his papers often wind up with more eraser smudges than actual words. Abdul decides his stories just aren' t meant to be written down. . . until a special visitor comes to class and shows Abdul that even the best writers-and superheroes-make mistakes.
"Exploring the topic of learning disabilities can be challenging, especially the social-emotional fallout for children who are struggling, but Thompkins-Bigelow accomplishes the task. Rose' s lively and colorful illustrations are eye-pleasing and showcase diversity. This is an engaging story that not only offers empowerment but also models understanding and acceptance of learning differences. " -The Horn Book Magazine
