Sophie Bennett loves stories, but reading out loud is hard. Sometimes the words seem to wiggle, hide, and run away before she can catch them.

Then Sophie meets Darby, an older student with a sketchbook, a pencil, and a gentle way of helping children see hard things differently. With Darby’s drawings and Ms. Rivera’s reading help, Sophie begins to discover that hard words do not mean she is not smart.
