Be brave Maple

This story follows Maple Mehta-Cohen, a creative girl with dyslexia who struggles to read and keeps it secret. When she has to repeat a school year, she lies to hide the truth, but it quickly becomes harder to keep up. Maple must find the courage to be honest and learn to accept herself and her brain.

Why it helps: This book helps children understand dyslexia and how it can affect confidence, friendships and school life. It shows that reading difficulties do not define intelligence, and encourages honesty, self-acceptance and pride in thinking differently.
