To support and empower children to communicate their fears, Omoguru has published a picture book called Čovječuljci / Tiny people. The story by Ula Reić is about fears that live inside everyone’s minds and grow bigger until we speak about them. The texts are adapted for children with dyslexia and other reading difficulties, and set in our dyslexia-friendly font Omotype Sans. The amazing dreamy illustrations were drawn by Ivana Radić.
Zvijezda koja čita / The Reading Star is the second picture book in our series. It explores the challenges of struggling readers in a classroom environment. Like the first publication, the story was written by Ula Reić. The colourful illustrations are made by Rina Barbarić.
The challenges of dyslexia are not well known to people around us. And that lack of understanding can become a heavy burden for dyslexics. Every step in raising awareness about what dyslexics face during their education opens space for them to receive the right support. And it makes all the difference whether they’ll achieve better educational success, and lead better, happier lives.
