Krista Weltner joined IDA-GA and IDA-OR for the Rock for Dyslexia Paint Party in October 2023 (and in 2022). She is an author, illustrator, filmmaker, and puppet maker. Her debut picture book series, Everyday Adventures with Molly and Dyslexia, was inspired by her own experience growing up with dyslexia. Krista said that the little girl struggling to put together a simple word wouldn’t believe that she would be calling herself a published author. Everyday Adventures with Molly and Dyslexia hit the shelves in early 2024.
Our Teen Board interviewed Ryan Sias on September 26, 2023. Ryan (who is dyslexic) is a professional artist and arts educator with experience working with Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, and Disney. He has written and illustrated ten books for children: https://ryansias.com/home/
