I see in pictures — being dyslexic means my brain works like a movie screen.To all the children who sit quietly in the corner and daydream:You are not being lazy or silly. I You are creators. You are kind, humble and smart.Don’t ever let anyone tell you to stop dreaming — that is exactly where the magic begins.

📖 JACOB AND THE MAGIC BIKE

​

Written by Martin Taylor

 

This is the story of Jacob, a boy who wanted something with all his heart, and learned that believing in himself was the greatest magic of all.

​

📜 STORY 1.

 

THE LONGING

 

Every day Jacob walked past the local bike shop, pressing his face against the cold glass until it fogged up. He dreamed of having his own bike, but he knew he and his mum did not have enough money. He went home with a heavy heart, wondering if his wish would ever come true.

That night, a small gentle wizard appeared and said:“Jacob, if you are brave enough to follow your heart, go to the big park tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock. There you will meet another wizard — and your wish will be granted.''
