Synopsis

Delbert is a struggling reader who loves using his big blinky eyes and clowning around at recess to get through his reading disability at school. He musters the courage to talk about his troubles with his mama and teacher who promise to help him find answers. Delbert’s doc finds things that will help, but Delbert schemes to use the appointments to get more ice cream. Can they really help Delbert? Will Delbert ever love school again? See what really makes a difference.

Weather a child has dyslexia or other reading difficulties, getting behind in school can destroy self-confidence and create feelings of inferiority. Delbert feels withdrawn and ashamed before getting help. This is a story of a triumph over learning disabilities through hard work.

This book is great for children who are behind in reading, struggling with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. It gives expression to what they are experiencing and opens conversation about it. In addition, it gives them a relatable character to identify with and gain courage to overcome their disabilities.
