This is a fantastic book. Patricia Polacco writes a lot of her books about herself as a child and these books come with an important message. This story is about Tricia who struggles to read as the letters appear differently to her. It isn't until she meets Mr. Falker and he takes the time to teach to her needs that she overcomes her struggle. The story tells of the bond between teachers and students. It also lets students realize that they may struggle with something others find easier and how it is important to think about others feelings.
