Information sur l'oeuvreAuthor: A True Story par Helen Lester ![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() Helen Lester tells her own story in this book. She talks about the learning problems that she had as a child and the difficulties she faced to overcome them. She persevered and became a successful author. Lester sends a positive message with this book. By sharing her own story she shows others that learning disabilities do not have to stop people from achieving their goals. This book is about an author, Helen Lester, who was a "mirror writer" as a child. So Helen was writing in a wrong direction; however, she was able to write from left to right, eventually. Helen also described her struggles as a writer: getting stock, loosing ideas, not being able to come up with a title.... But she overcame it all and became an ELA teacher. And then 10 years later she started writing children's books, which was also very hard and frustrating at first, she was rejected a lot. It is a very inspiring story about perseverance, hard work, believing in yourself, and dealing with not being like everyone else. Helen Lester also illustrated this book and it looks adorable. A great read! "Author: A True Story" tells the story of Helen Lester's learning disability. When she was younger, Helen would write all of her sentences backwards. It was very difficult for her teachers to read her work. Helen worked very hard and eventually became a published author. She also introduces the idea of a Fizzle Box. Young writers can put all of their ideas into a Fizzle Box and come back to them whenever they please. Her story tells the tale of perseverance and hard work. I liked his story, but found it difficult to figure out what her learning disability was. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
