About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by a learning hurdle, a speech difference, or a moment of deep public embarrassment. It is an ideal choice for the student who feels like their brain works a little differently and needs to see that even the most respected adults can get their words in a twist. The story follows Reverend Lee, a well meaning vicar who accidentally says words backward, leading to hilarious and unintentional silliness in his new parish. While the humor is classic Roald Dahl absurdity, the heart of the book is about resilience and the community coming together to find a solution. It normalizes the experience of having a 'glitch' in communication while maintaining a light, joyful tone. This short chapter book is perfect for ages 7 to 11, providing a safe space to laugh at the chaotic nature of language while building empathy for those who navigate learning differences every day.
