A Word Issue

Content : I'm Mona, but they call me Mo'! I have a problem with words. Not with saying them or singing them... Writing them: zero points in all my dictations! Fortunately, there's drawing, because words can also be put into pictures.

Anne Loyer has written a beautiful story about the handicap that is dyslexia. This reading and writing disorder is now recognized as a specific learning disability by the WHO. But there is still too often confusion between lack of intelligence and dyslexia.

Mona struggles with her dyslexia without ever having identified it. Thanks to the unfailing support of Mamounette, her grandmother, she discovered another means of expression through drawing. Another way of showing off to her friends, teachers and parents.

Arnaud Nebbache's illustrations add that extra touch of fantasy and poetry to help us better understand what's going on inside Mo''s head.

Theme: Dyslexia.

The "Kapoche": Short, illustrated novels to smoothly move from picture books to longer novels. Adventures, questions, doubts and joys of everyday life.
