“Based in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia, we believe in the power of books to shape communities and foster conversations.” – The Bookshelf
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, and we are excited to announce an event organized by two of our Teen Board Members.
Join IDA-GA Teen Board Members Payton and Brennan West for storytime at 11:00 am on October 4. They will be reading the book Brilliant Bea and doing an activity with the little listeners. All are welcome! No registration required. Head to downtown Thomasville, Georgia, at 126 S. Broad Street, near Grassroots Coffee and across the street from Sweet Grass Dairy.
Brilliant Bea is an endearing and empowering story that demonstrates that a learning difference like dyslexia doesn’t define who you are.
Despite her struggles with reading and writing, Beatrice is a natural and brilliant storyteller. With the help of a kind-hearted teacher, Beatrice uses an old-fashioned tape recorder so she can speak her words and then play them back, as a technique for learning in a whole new way. With her new approach, Beatrice is able to show her classmates who she really has been all along.
