Dyslexia involves some complications but also provides some strengths. Those who have dyslexia should not be discouraged, as in reality we all have different attributes and must be understood and appreciated. Abigail Griebelbauer explores this through D is for Darcy Not Dyslexia: The Empower Empathy Early Series. It is the story of Darcy, a creative girl who loves her art class, although she has difficulties in reading class. She has the support of her friend Clara, and the teacher Miss Williams is also understanding. The book explains that dyslexia is not a factor that defines Darcy. She has her abilities and can accomplish many things. With this book, Abigail will motivate many children to keep striving.
Abigail Griebelbauer used her experiences with dyslexia as the source of inspiration for this story, which makes it even more motivating. The book highlights and explains important terminology and describes Darcy's feelings in both good and bad times. Readers can easily understand and empathize with Darcy's situation. D is for Darcy Not Dyslexia portrays an appropriate environment, as both Miss Williams and Clara provide constant support. There is no criticism here, simply acceptance and the desire to be better every day. At the end of the book, some questions are posed that invite us to reflect, so children can relate more to the subject and look for their strengths. I recommend this book to inspire children, and for parents and teachers to discuss the topic in a way that is easy to understand.
