If you were to read 100 stories about dyslexia, no two would be alike, and likely all would be inspiring. Such is the case with Aidan Colvin, dyslexic high school student, and author of Looking for Heroes: One Boy, One Year, 100 Letters.
In just one year, Aidan wrote letters to 100 successful dyslexics including writer John Irving, comedian Jay Leno, filmmaker Harvey Hubbel, and many more. The book details Aidan’s journey to connect with those who’ve struggled and succeeded with dyslexia—real dyslexic heroes. It also chronicles the many responses and conversations that resulted from his letters, and the lessons he learned that have helped him to succeed.
