Overview

Yesenia loves stories. She loves the way pages sound when they turn and the way books smell when they're brand new. But when she tries to read the words on the page by herself, something feels different. Sometimes the letters flip. Sometimes they hide. Sometimes they will not stay still. In YESENIA READS HER WAY, Yesenia learns that reading is not only about seeing. It is also about how the brain turns letters into sounds and sounds into meaning. With Mama's gentle support, Yesenia discovers that she may be traveling a different reading path, often called dyslexia, and that she is not alone. This story helps children understand dyslexia in a calm, empowering way. It also celebrates neurodiversity as a natural difference in how the brain learns. As Yesenia learns about tools that support her brain, such as a reading ruler, audiobooks, and textured letters, she begins to feel something even more powerful than progress. She begins to feel confidence. She realizes that tools are not cheating. They are support. Her Scenic Route brain also comes with strengths, such as big ideas, deep understanding, and creative thinking. Perfect for families, classrooms, counselors, and educators, this gentle, hopeful story supports children with reading challenges and reminds every learner: you are not behind. You are learning your way.
