The Awesome Animals series is a collection of weird but true books for kids about the animal kingdom. Half fact and half fun, each book features an animal which is missing something that we're taught to expect should be there. But these animals don't just thrive despite that absence, they thrive because of it.

All books use a dyslexia-friendly type-face. With dyslexia, we often focus on the challenges - difficulty reading. But thanks to the way the dyslexic brain is built, people with dyslexia are often creative, intuitive and highly successful. In other words, those people aren't thriving despite their dyslexic brain, they are thriving because of it.
