Please consult our group leader information for guidance on taking part in shadowing.


The child at the centre of the story is endeavouring to read, but the letters continually jump and jumble. Words and letters are used as building blocks for the illustrations creating playful and imaginative layers. The colour palette is striking throughout and there’s plenty of movement to lend both energy and pace to the story. 

Themes:

  • Reading 
  • Dyslexia 
  • Stories 
  • Neurodivergence 
  • Emotion
