“Slow readers savor the story!”:
Hudson Talbott’s A Walk in the Words

“A whole page of text looked like a wall — keeping me out. By now, everyone in my class was reading book after book, except me. What if they found out that I couldn’t keep up?”

I’ve a review over at BookPage of Hudson Talbott’s A Walk in the Words (Nancy Paulsen Books, September 2021).

That review is here, and below are some more spreads from the book.

Enjoy!

Like stepping-stones leading me onward.”

  1. Just wanted to THANK YOU for sharing this information. As a literacy/dyslexia specialist, I appreciate the author’s perspective and also appreciate the idea of ‘not’ using the word ‘dyslexia’, since I also feel that many, many students out there who are not dyslexic have difficulty learning to read these days, especially given the constraints of these past 18 months. Excellent review!!
