Robhert H. Frazier- Jaxon's Writing Superbrain, author, Jenn Woodall, casts light on a much-needed discourse. Not every child is wired to sit behind a desk and repeat verbatim the alphabet or regurgitate the principles of arithmetic on the same level as the child in the next seat. In earlier years, and even up to today, kids not catching on quickly enough might have been shuffled into special-needs classes. Let's back up for a minute: it's said Albert Einstein flunked his first year at university; Hall of Famer, Michael Jordan was cut from a high school basketball team. And for myself, I flunked my first semester at university but later recovered to make the Dean's List the next several semesters. From there, I graduated from a highly regarded law school. Woodall's book, which is brilliantly illustrated, teaches that kids who might not excel in the expected ways, might have a super talent hidden, waiting for discovery. Has anyone heard that Bill Gates is dyslexic? Kids can look at Woodall's book and say, ""Why not I?"" Five Stars! Alan I thought this book might focus on encouraging kids to be more expressive and creative via writing. Come to find out it's actually about a kid dealing with dysgraphia, which I didn't know about, prior to this book. So I certainly learned something new at the very least and would recommend it to anyone who might be struggling with that in their lives! Sneha Ahuja Meet Jaxon - no, he doesn't fly or shoot lasers, but his brain? Total superhero status. This book is all about a kid whose writing skills are next level. Like, turn-your-imagination-into-gold kind of level. Jaxon's Writing Superbrain is a fun, feel-good read that shows being different isn't just okay, it's awesome. This story is the perfect mix of creativity and heart. Jaxon's brain works in a unique way, and instead of hiding it, he ownsit. Kids who read this will not only see themselves but learn to appreciate all the cool ways our brains can work. Teachers, this one's your new classroom MVP. It opens the door to talk about differences, talents, and why every kid brings something amazing to the table. Bonus: the illustrations are bright, fun, and totally kid-approved. Plus, Jaxon's just one of the Superbrains in town. There's a whole squad, Sam, Andrew, Jenny, and Alex, all with their own special brainpower. Trust me, you're gonna want the full set.
