I hope Snowflakes brings the love of books to a new generation of readers.

When he looked back a few years later at Quentin Blake’s ‘Clown’ he was surprised to find it was a wordless picture book. He had ‘read’ it with me so often, but because words meant nothing to him then, he hadn’t even noticed that the story I told him each time was drawn only from the pictures, not from an author’s words. He would also read picture books to his little sister when he was still unable to read because he read the pictures. The best picture books work on so many different levels, with words, without words, words and pictures together or apart.

Thank you so much for your comments and thank you for reading my work. Dyslexia can be a wonderful thing-difficult- but brilliant still. I don’t know the dog picture book but I’ll be sure to look it up.
