Aaron Slater, Illustrator / Aarón Soñador, Ilustrador

Author: Andrea Beaty, Illustrator: David Roberts

Grades: K - 2

An uplifting story about the power of art, finding your voice, and telling your story even when you’re out of step with your peers from the #1 bestselling creators of Sofia Valdez, Future Prez and Ada Twist, Scientist!

Aaron Slater loves listening to stories and dreams of one day writing them himself. But when it comes to reading, the letters just look like squiggles to him, and it soon becomes clear he struggles more than his peers. When his teacher asks each child in the class to write a story, Aaron can’t get a single word down. He is sure his dream of being a storyteller is out of reach . . . until inspiration strikes, and Aaron finds a way to spin a tale in a way that is uniquely his.

Printed with a dyslexia-friendly font, Aaron Slater, Illustrator tells the empowering story of a boy with dyslexia who discovers that his learning disability may inform who he is, but it does not define who he is, and that there are many ways to be a gifted communicator.

¡Una historia inspiradora sobre el poder del arte, cómo encontrar tu propia voz y contar tu historia incluso cuando no se alinea con la de tus compañeros, de los creadores de los bestsellers Sofía Valdez, presidenta tal vez y Ada Magnífica, científica!

A Aarón Soñador le encanta escuchar historias y sueña con, algún día, escribirlas él mismo. Pero cuando intenta leer, todas las letras se mezclan y le parecen unos garabatos, así que no tarda en darse cuenta de que tiene más dificultades para aprender que sus compañeros. El día que su maestra pide que cada niño de la clase escriba una historia, Aarón no logra hacerlo. Justo cuando pensaba que ser un gran escritor estaba fuera de su alcance, llega la inspiración y Aarón descubre una forma muy particular de contar sus historias.
