A necessary and educational narrative non-fiction read, that embraces the superpowers that dyslexic thinking brings
Xtraordinary People is written by Kate Griggs, founder of the Dyslexic Thinking movement and charity, Made By Dyslexia.
Dyslexic herself, Kate dedicates her life to teaching the world about dyslexic thinking. Dyslexic children have a diagnosis that tells them they're different, and this book is a comforting reminder that their differences are to be embraced, and their dreams are no less attainable than their peers.
Xtraordinary People highlights for children how their differences can help them go wherever they want to in life, with quotes from famous names with dyslexia, such as Kiera Knightley, Princess Beatrice, and Richard Branson. This book is crafted with love and science, and helps dyslexic children feel seen. Crucially, it shifts the narrative on dyslexia, and educates people on its strengths. It's a needed hug for dyslexic children everywhere.
