Pigslexia is a children's book about a guinea pig with dyslexia. The main character in the book is my guinea pig Tootsie and the other pigs are modeled after guinea pigs my friend has. The book has many puzzles and interactive activities. I wrote the story, I created the puzzles, and I digitally painted the illustration in the book. My goal with this project was to teach children about dyslexia and that it is ok to have it. This book is dyslexia friendly and is meant for children with and without dyslexia. I have dyslexia and I know that it can be very challenging to grow up with dyslexia. I never saw a book like this when I was a child and I think that it would have helped me accept myself and help non-dyslexic children accept me.
