A beautifully rendered and deeply inspiring book for everyone who has ever read slowly--myself included! Hudson shows us the beauty and magic that can come from taking our time.
Learning to accept the fact that everyone does things in their own unique way, and that was okay, freed him up and ultimately helped Hudson thrive and become the fabulous storyteller he is today..
And he found he wasn\'t so alone--in fact, lots of brilliant people were slow readers, too.
He started giving himself permission to read at his own pace, using the Words he knew as stepping-stones to help draw him into a story.
Fortunately, his love of stories wouldn\'t let him give up.
He felt alone, lost, and afraid in a world of too many words.
But that got harder every year.
As his friends moved on to thicker books, he kept his slow reading a secret.
But reading? No way! One at a time, Words weren\'t a problem, but long sentences were a struggle.
When Hudson Talbott was a little boy, he loved drawing, and it came naturally to him.
Brilliant.--Jacqueline Woodson Hudson Talbott\'s inspiring story vividly reveals the challenges--and ultimately the rewards--of being a non-mainstream kind of learner.
