Dyslexia is my Superpower - gallery 2

These inspiring art works were submitted by children and young people from Scotland and further afield for Margaret Rooke’s new book Dyslexia is my Superpower (most of the time!). Margaret only got to pick a few for her book, so we're getting the chance to show off the rest on Dyslexia Unwrapped!

Issac's mum says: "Isaac has filled up so many sketchbooks with drawings in this style of his and I think working on this drawing has actually helped him accept his dyslexia more".
