Through his eyes, we see the hidden struggles, the misunderstood strengths and the incredible creativity dyslexic children (and adults!) bring to the table. About Gea Meijering Gea is a passionate creative and original ideas give her a jolt of energy. A storyteller, marketeer, parent mentor and artist with a passion and a mission. As the mother of a dyslexic son, she researched dyslexia better than an FBI agent would, and witnessed the dyslexia struggle and gift it can be, upfront and personal. Gea volunteered as a parent mentor for the special education department of her local school district and is a dynamic dyslexia advocate. Over the years she saw many kids and their parents struggling to find out why school wasn't going well. Reason to write a children's book that offers kids and families the opportunity to identify with the different characters, make visible the learning struggles some students go through and bring dyslexia awareness to the community.
