The Bigger Picture Book of Amazing Dyslexics and the Jobs They Do by Kate Power
Funny and beautifully designed, packed with photos, this book puts amazing dyslexics and the jobs they do under the spotlight. The reader draws inspiration and insight from the stories which highlight the dyslexics' low and high points, people who inspired them, their coping strategies, strengths, eureka moments and advice to younger selves.
What's wonderful about this book is that it shows dyslexia from a range of personal perspectivesDyslexia is not a generic experience -- it's as unique as the people who live with it on a daily basis.

An inspiring read! -- Kenny Wheeler, Senior Consultant Teacher at Driver Youth Trust
