OUR SHARED OBSTACLE

At primary school, children learn many skills. It is the place and time where they discover and play and, 

for example, learn to read. This period is for some children difficult and confronting, as they discover that reading is more difficult for them than the rest of their friends and have difficulty keeping up.

​

This children’s book is created to relight the ability of dyslexia in a positive with as goal of helping people, from young to old, gain insight and understanding. By providing space to reflect and experience how this condition impacts one’s perception, people get the chance to explore through play and understand their fellow human beings more humanly.

​

Reading text is a sort of obstacle people with this (dis)ability have to confront daily in modern society. When reading the text from this picture book, you as the reader will experience the complexity of having dyslexia and how it is to read text through the wiring of a dyslectic brain. 

 

Seeing text, but not truly understanding it, this book is forcing you as the reader to continually have to

de-code, focus and follow lines of text in which the words are hard to follow.

 

The book supports the positive aspects and benefits of this learning difficulty labelled as disability, in the sense that it shines a light on what people with the (dis)ability can accomplish and are capable of.
