Little Trisha is excited to start school, especially because her family values learning. But when she finds herself struggling to read, her excitement turns into dread. Her classmates begin to tease her, making her feel ashamed and alone. What no one realizes is that Trisha has dyslexia, a condition that makes reading a challenge. Just when she’s about to give up, a compassionate new teacher, Mr. Falker, recognizes her difficulty—not her failure—and gently guides her to believe in herself. Based on the author’s own life, this deeply personal story is a tribute to every teacher who becomes an 'angel in disguise.'
