ljrinaldi's review against another edition
4.0
This is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a real persons life, who didn't learn to read until he was in his 90s.
He kept quitting jobs, because he did not want to be exposed, and was able to hide his secret because of his wife.
And once he did learn to read, he went to classes, and read to them, and told them his story.
What a wonderful, inspiring story, that we are never too old to learn, and to learn how to read.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Very well illustrated and a interesting true life story. Good because it shows the importance of education and how lucky kids these days are to have it, even when they see it has bad. Good because it present how easy the world become now a days, an that can be a useful reminder for some. And good because it has a strong message of resilience, perseverance and achievement. Well done!
