Recalculating: A Child's Guide to Understanding Dyslexia

In Recalculating: A Child’s Guide to Understanding Dyslexia, young authors Colton and Noah Shaw, along with their mom Amy, offer a heartfelt and honest look at what it’s like to live with dyslexia. Through personal stories, relatable metaphors, and encouraging words, readers gain a clear understanding of how a dyslexic brain works — from “messy file cabinets” to frustrating word mix-ups — and how those challenges don’t define a person's intelligence or potential.

This book reassures children that they are not alone and that dyslexia doesn’t mean something is wrong — it just means their brain works differently. With warmth and hope, Recalculating: A Child’s Guide to Understanding Dyslexia celebrates resilience, creativity, and the beauty of thinking outside the box. Whether you have dyslexia or want to better understand someone who does, this book is a powerful reminder that every brain is built with purpose — and with the right support, anything is possible.
