In addition, each spread contains activity and movement prompts, such as "Give your neighbor a high 5" or "Pretend you are a planet and spin around 5x!" All you need to do is open the book, CUT on the dotted line, LAMINATE each spread in an 11 x 17 inch pouch, and DISPLAY as wanted. An uplifting story of personal triumph... Jack Thomson, a gifted, young boy who dreams of flying rockets to Neptune and building trains between planets is unaware of how truly intelligent he is. Truth be told, he's convinced he is slow because he can't read and write like everyone else, he knows. After one awful day at school, Jack's mother comforts him by relating some inspiring stories of history's greatest minds and how they overcame learning disabilities and made a difference. As Jack listens, his spirits lift as he recognizes that someday he, too, can do something magnificent.
