Back to Front and Upside Down! by Claire Alexander
4.0
Alluding to dyslexia, Back to Front and Upside Down finds Stan in his classroom trying to write a birthday card for his principal. When he struggles while other students seem to easily find their way around writing, a classmate convinces him to speak with their teacher where he receives additional help and discovers he's not alone before he is eventually successful.
Alexander throws in the occasional rhyme and uses basic language throughout. The word "dyslexia" (nor any other specific indicator) is never mentioned in the course of the story, but this would provide an excellent example for younger students struggling to overcome learning challenges. Meanwhile, the story is paired with a playful and rounded illustration style.
