Every birthday I buy my children
A book instead of a birthday card
This year choosing a book for Bea was easy
Brilliant Bea

Brilliant Bea
About a little girl
Who has a wonderful way with words
Tells brilliant stories
And has a vivid magical imagination

Brilliant Bea
About a little girl
Who finds reading and writing tricky
Who discovers that learning differently
Isn’t something to be afraid of

Brilliant Bea
About a little girl
Who shows that dyslexia does not define you
Does not limit you
It just means that you see and do things
Your own way
Using your own unique strengths
To express yourself

Brilliant Bea is a beautifully illustrated story
About how one kind-hearted, inspired teacher
Helps a little girl find her voice
Helps a little girl find her way of expressing who she is
Helps her find her way of sharing her skills
As a natural and brilliant storyteller

This is the perfect book for Bea
Who is an avid reader
But finds reading harder than others
She is a determined bookworm
She does not let her dyslexia stop her
From reading any book she sets
Her heart and mind too

This is the perfect book for our Bea
Who composes amazing stories
But finds it extra hard
To write them down
In a way that others can read them

This book shows that dyslexia
Does not have to be a negative
It is just an obstacle to overcome
And work around

This story shows Bea that she can be
A confident and imaginative storyteller
A reader and a whizz with words
This book shows Bea that she can do anything
By using her own special skills and talents
And not worrying about being different

This is a book that celebrates learning differently

A brilliant and beautiful book
That as a mother of dyslexic daughters
I am so incredibly grateful for
