Synopsis

What do you think goes into a mind of a child with dyslexia? Now’s your chance to delve into their minds and comprehend the power of being distinct. Every child in this world has a unique personality. But, sometimes, their distinctiveness is perceived as an imperfection by society. This labeling instills fear, develops anxiety, and makes it difficult for children to adapt to the environment. Imagine how it would be if a child could realize that those differences that society labeled as Imperfections or flaws were, in fact, pronounced gifts or superpowers. Wouldn’t that boost their confidence and self-esteem? Being different isn’t a curse but a gift that only a few tend to recognize. The Gift of Being Different is a children’s book, a masterpiece by a mother-daughter duo, Monica Berg, and her nine-year-old daughter Abigail Berg who is Dyslexic. In the book, the author portrays the significance of learning. Children who tend to have a specific physical disability or a disease are not adequately facilitated in schools and the environment, making it difficult for them to fit in. This special children’s book is full of excitement, humor, and epic illustrations that will captivate the reader’s attention. It is an inspirational book for children but a guide for teachers, caregivers, and parents to improve the educational systems and learning techniques for children with special needs. The author has ensured authenticity while portraying a powerful message of celebrating and embracing differences. Her daughter, Abigail, has been diagnosed with dyslexia herself, which is why she released a book that could help create a better world. Learning is a process that should be enjoyed, leading you to transform uniquely in life. It’s not about reading or writing, but it’s all about the idea. One idea can change the life of millions of people! Embrace who you truly are! Embrace your greatest gifts because that is what differentiates you from others. Get inspired by the journey of Abigail and transform your life with motivation and hope.

About the Author

Mother, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, friend, author, podcaster, cardio enthusiast and Change Junkie, Monica integrates all that she is into her mission of sharing with others. Monica is a fresh voice that channels the powerful internal spark of Light living within us all. Authentic and fearless, she reminds us of our extraordinary potential and pushes us onward with compassion and understanding. While informed by her many years of kabbalistic study, Monica also draws heavily on her own personal life experiences. She battled and overcame a debilitating eating disorder at a young age, and as a mother of four children, one of whom has special needs, she has become an outspoken advocate for him and others struggling to find their voice. With her trademark blend of humor, insight, and honesty, she shows individuals how to create a life that feels like it is working, like it makes sense, and most importantly, a life in which they are living and loving as the powerful, fulfilled person they’ve always wanted to be. Her personal endeavors have taught her how the practical wisdom of Kabbalah can bring Light and strength into even the most challenging experiences by changing the one thing we can control, ourselves. Monica Berg, a self-professed Change Junkie, shares her combination of wisdom and real-life awareness with talks found compelling to a wide range of people at different stages in their lives. She leads people to not only see how they can change (change is the only constant in life) but inspires them to get excited about a lifestyle of change. Monica Berg is the author of Fear Is Not an Option and Rethink Love, co-hosts the Spiritually Hungry podcast, and serves as Co-director and Chief Communications Officer for Kabbalah Centre International. She lives in New York with her husband Michael and their children David, Joshua, Miriam, and Abigail.
