La historia real y clásica de una niña disléxica y el profesor que no dejó que fracasara. Un regalo perfecto para profesores y para estudiantes de cualquier edad.
Patricia Polacco es ahora una de las creadoras de libros infantiles más queridas de Estados Unidos, pero hace tiempo era una niña llamada Trisha que empezaba la escuela. Trisha pintaba y dibujaba maravillosamente, pero cuando miraba las palabras en una página, lo único que veía era un revoltijo. Hizo falta un maestro muy especial para reconocer la dislexia de la pequeña Trisha: el Sr. Falker, que la animó a superar su discapacidad lectora. Patricia Polacco nunca lo olvidará, y nosotros tampoco.
