Introducing 'My Little Brother'



Hi - I just wanted to write about a book that I illustrated about a year ago.
It's called My Little Brother, and is about a little boy who has dyslexia.

He gets confused between his right and his left, and finds it easier to talk about things than to read or write about them.
But he has lots of other great talents and the story is about how you can be whatever you want to be. : )

It was printed in Japanese first, but we are thinking of printing it in English too!
Dyslexia is really not very widely recognised in Japan.
We want people to know that it's not "wrong" or "bad" to have dyslexia.
It's just a bit different - and special.
Like being left-handed, I suppose!
