A Winner!

I love this book. I am a special education teacher in an interrelated setting. Many of my students are young athletic males that struggle with a disability. I loved the format of the book and the personal insight that Neil gives in regards to his learning disability. My kids were amazed that Neil had tests read to him while he was in the NFL. They recognized the modifications that teachers used for him to help him reach his goal. This book is a must for any teacher with student overcoming a disability.

Thank you, Neil Smith

As a special ed teacher who works with middle school students with learning disabilities, I have found this book invaluable. Neil Smith is a great role model because he has not let having a learning disability limit him. By reading about Neil Smith and his struggles and successes, my students have a real life example of what is possible.

An offer of hope and understanding.

Everyone who has serious reading problems needs this book. It is a very special story of success told so children can understand. It is written in a 40 page picture book format.
