"Meet Marco - a boy with dyspraxia, which is sometimes called Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD). Marco invites readers to learn about dyspraxia from his perspective, helping them to understand what it is and what it feels like when he sometimes struggles to control his movement and co-ordination. He talks about the challenges of having dyspraxia and lets readers know how he can be helped and supported.
This illustrated book will be an ideal introduction for young people, aged 7 upwards, as well as parents, friends, teachers and professionals working with children with dyspraxia. It is also an excellent starting point for family and classroom discussions." - PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE “A Wonderfully useful little book! Demystifying, non-patronising and with loads of practical suggestions for parents, teachers and dyspraxic children themselves.” – Sue Palmer, literacy specialist and author of “Toxic Childhood”.
This is another in the “Can I Tell You About...?” series.

The illustrations are pertinent, but the facial expressions are, to my eye, slightly strange.
