About The Story

Abdul is full of ideas and loves to write stories. But he has dyslexia, a learning disability that makes it hard to read and spell. Letters flip, words jumble, and mistakes multiply. No matter how creative he is, Abdul feels embarrassed about his writing—and sometimes, classmates laugh or call him names. Dyslexia affects up to 1 in 5 people worldwide. It doesn’t mean someone isn’t smart. In fact, many people with dyslexia are gifted thinkers, artists, or storytellers. Abdul’s journey is one of learning to believe in himself, and to embrace the unique way his brain works. This story opens the door to understanding learning differences and invites children to treat all classmates with kindness and respect.
