My Name is Brain Brian

Brian is a terrible student. His family think he's lazy. His fiiends think that's just fine. In fact, they think some of the things Brian does are really funny - like writing his name Brain intead of Brian. But Brian isn't trying to be funny. He knows he isn't lazy. And he's tired of feeling stupid, tired of working and working to learn things, to get words right, and never even knowing he's gotten them wrong. When a tough new sixth-grade teacer focuses on Brian, he's sure that now, he will always be the class dummy. That's how Brian's sixth grade adventure begins.

When I first decided to write Brian's story I spend many afternoons at a school for kids with dyslexia. And when I decided that Brian would learn everything he could about the Canada Goose, I studied them myself. I had a lot of fun getting ready to write this story and learned new things.

I especially liked working on MY NAME IS BRAIN BRIAN because I am dyselxic. Writing Brian's story helped me to understand my own learning style better and to appreciate different learning styles in others.
