Brilliant, Just in a Different Way: For every kid who thinks differently

By Dr Eric Tacl

Brilliant, Just in a Different Way is a heartfelt and empowering story based on the true journey of Dr. Eric Tacl, who grew up navigating learning differences such as dyslexia.

Diagnosed at a young age with multiple learning disabilities, Eric often felt misunderstood and discouraged. But through his mother's unwavering belief and the guidance of creative teachers, he learned that thinking differently wasn't a weakness-it was his greatest strength.

This beautifully written and illustrated story follows Eric's transformation from a boy who hid under his hoodie to a confident learner, scholar, veteran, and leader. His journey-from struggling with spelling tests to earning his doctorate-shows that success looks different for everyone.

A powerful celebration of neurodiversity, perseverance, and unconditional love, Brilliant, Just in a Different Way reminds every child who learns differently that they are not broken-they are brilliant.
