Ben and Emma's Big Hit

By: Gavin Newsom, Ruby Shamir

Narrated by: Gavin Newsom

From California Governor Gavin Newsom comes an empowering picture book, adapted for audio, about a young boy with dyslexia who discovers a new way to look at reading.

Ben loves baseball. He loves the lines of diamond-shaped field and the dome of the pitcher's mound. What Ben doesn't like is reading. Ben has dyslexia, which means letters and sounds get jumbled up in his brain, and then the words don't make sense. But when Ben starts looking at reading like he looks at baseball, he realizes that if he keeps trying, he can overcome any obstacle that comes his way.

In this empowering story by California Governor Gavin Newsom, inspired by his own childhood diagnosis of dyslexia, listeners will learn that kids with the determination to try (and try again) can do big things.

The best book ever!!!!!

This is the best book I have ever read!! It has such great meaning. I love how it explains Governor Newsom’s childhood in a format for children. One of my favorite parts of this books is the profits are being donated to charity. This was a great book Governor Newsom. I hope you keep writing more.
