5/23/2023 0 Comments Thank you mr falker storyFelker (the real name of the teacher involved) for making it all possible. Yet, like the tears young Tricia cries at the end of the book, these are ultimately tears of joy. Youngsters, as well as adults, may find themselves choked up at the emotions so eloquently described in words and pictures. This touching story is accompanied by illustrations in Polacco's signature style. Without belaboring the point, the author clearly shows the ways that children internalize critical comments made by others and suffer for their differences. It's not until the family moves to California and Tricia has managed to reach the fifth grade that a new teacher finally recognizes her pain and distress. Teased by her classmates, she retreats into dreams and drawings. Young Tricia wants desperately to read but when she starts school she finds that the words "wiggle" on the page. This moving saga of her struggle with a learning disability makes an inspiring picture book. About This Book: Once more Polacco shares a personal story with engaging results.
