The Art of Miss Chew

Reach for this book when your child feels defined by their struggles in school or believes they are not smart because they learn differently. This heartfelt memoir follows Tricia, a young girl whose reading difficulties make her a target for a dismissive substitute teacher. When a supportive educator recognizes her artistic genius and sends her to Miss Chew's art class, Tricia discovers that her way of seeing the world is a gift, not a deficit. It is a powerful tool for rebuilding the self-esteem of children ages 6 to 10 who may be facing academic frustration. Parents will appreciate how it reframes learning disabilities as unique cognitive styles and celebrates the life-changing impact of a mentor who truly sees a child's potential.
