Did You Say Pasghetti? Dusty and Danny Tackle Dyslexia tells young picture book readers that “Everyone needs to find the special way that their brain learns best” and advocates learning, kindness, and different approaches to fostering both. It follows Danny and his best friend Dusty the dog in a humorous examination of not just the process of struggling with learning, but the associated emotional trials that accompany it.- D.
