Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure
Printed in dyslexia-friendly font, Robby the Dyslexic Taxi is the first book in a series about Robby and his taxi friends with different disabilities and how they not only overcome them but also do great things.

How will he get his passenger to the airport on time if his dyslexia is putting the brakes on his trip? Follow Robby and all of his friends as they overcome their learning differences in fun and creative ways!

What is dyslexia and why a dyslexic taxi?
Dyslexia is a learning and reading disability that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding).
Dyslexia is a result of individual differences in areas of the brain that process language. it is not due to problems with intelligence, hearing or vision.
When a family member has dyslexia, many questions arise.
Jonathan and Lynn felt Robby’s dyslexia is important and should be celebrated. To learn more about dyslexia, visit our resources section.
