Hudson shows us the beauty and magic that can come from taking our time. Brilliant.\"--Jacqueline Woodson \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHudson Talbott's inspiring story vividly reveals the challenges--and ultimately the rewards--of being a non-mainstream kind of learner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Hudson Talbott was a little boy, he loved drawing, and it came naturally to him. But reading? No way! One at a time, words weren't a problem, but long sentences were a struggle. As his friends moved on to thicker books, he kept his slow reading a secret. But that got harder every year. He felt alone, lost, and afraid in a world of too many words.\u003cbr\u003e Fortunately, his love of stories wouldn't let him give up. He started giving himself permission to read at his own pace, using the words he knew as stepping-stones to help draw him into a story. And he found he wasn't so alone--in fact, lots of brilliant people were slow readers, too. Learning to accept the fact that everyone does things in their own unique way, and that was okay, freed him up and ultimately helped Hudson thrive and become the fabulous storyteller he is today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHudson Talbott\u003c\/b\u003e has written and illustrated more than 20 children's books, including Newbery Honor winner \u003ci\u003eShow Way\u003c\/i\u003e (by Jacqueline Woodson), ALA Notable Book and VOYA Honor Book \u003ci\u003eLeonardo's Horse\u003c\/i\u003e (by Jean Fritz), and \u003ci\u003eWe're Back!
