緊鎖的門,帶領她進入光明……。 By Patricia Polacco, Hardcover, Traditional Chinese characters and Zhuyin, 48 pages, 11.25"x8.9": Special Issue: Paperback, 31 pages, 10.25"x7. Falker is written and illustrated by Patricia Polacco and read by Jane Kaczmarek. Author's gouache-and-pencil compositions deftly capture the emotional stages? frustration, pain, elation? of Trisha's journey. Young readers struggling with learning difficulties will identify with Trisha's situation and find reassurance in her success.

Polacco's tale is all the more heartfelt because of its personal nature. She begins to blossom and develop all of her talents, including reading. Falker, trigger a monumental turning point in Trisha's life. But finally the encouragement and efforts of a new fifth grade teacher, Mr. Trisha endures the cruel taunts of classmates who call her "dumb," and falls behind in her studies. Included in this printable are pages that can be used to. But when she looks at words and numbers, everything is a jumble. Falker by Patricia Polacco is the perfect book to use for retelling the story. Young Trisha is eager to taste the "sweetness of knowledge" that her grandfather has always revered (here symbolized by drizzling honey onto a book and tasting it, which harkens back to Polacco's earlier The Bee Tree).

Here Polacco shares her childhood triumph over dyslexia and discovery of reading in an inspiring if slightly formulaic story. Fans of author's work know well her talent for weaving her colorful family history throughout her picture books.
