The Distracted Kids is an inspiring story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit in. Georgie is a specialist in creating images, like a filmmaker. These images help him understand the world around him. Every time he has a problem, Georgie hides his reading difficulties by creating clever distractions around him. Georgie's family doesn't understand him, his school doesn't understand him, the city doesn't understand him. And, on the verge of repeating a grade and being transferred to another school, he meets the distracted kids, a group of children with different abilities, and their parents, who will help him understand his condition and start a new life from a different starting point. With their help, Georgie will learn that dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of, as a world full of possibilities opens up before him. Because not everyone learns in the same way, but everyone can learn. This book is not only aimed at children; it also seeks to provide a space for reflection for parents and educators. It aims to give visibility to specific learning difficulties and the acceptance of diagnosis. The role of the adult is fundamental for the development and acceptance of children with dyslexia, as well as their environment. The way we respond to what happens to them is a model that will undoubtedly mark many of the patterns of behavior and understanding of the world around them. Providing that dose of empathy and attention is paramount when children are suffering, to provide answers to the concerns they express to us. Positive valuing of diversity, attention, and care for those with a difficulty is essential for their development. Hence the importance of explaining, in age-appropriate language, what is happening, to allow them to openly express their emotions, fears, and concerns. It is important that explanations are simple and brief to give them freedom to express any doubts and questions that may arise. In addition to reading the story, children will be able to answer a series of thought-provoking questions that open up dialogue and help them better understand the situation presented. This story is dedicated to all those children who feel like our character and need to understand what is happening to them, as well as to those parents and teachers who fight alongside them without giving up, and believe that these little ones have a sea of potential, because we believe that great minds do not usually think like others.
