— THE HAPPY READERS EDITION —
Dyslexia-friendly Ween picture books — high-legibility print, OpenDyslexic Kindle font, and author-narrated read-along audio.
One in five children is dyslexic — that's four kids in every classroom of twenty. Most are identified between ages six and eight, right when they're supposed to fall in love with reading. But while decodable workbooks exist for schools, the warm, funny, beautiful picture book — the book a struggling reader actually wants to hold — is nearly impossible to find. We looked at that empty shelf and decided to stock it.
A Reader's Edition is the same beloved Ween story, reformatted so struggling readers can read it themselves: high-legibility type with clear, heavy-bottomed letter shapes; generous spacing between letters, words, and lines; short lines (30-35 characters) with ragged right edges — never justified; cream paper (print) or sepia background (Kindle) to cut glare; larger text; chunked paragraphs. The Kindle Reader's Edition is reflowable, so readers can choose the built-in OpenDyslexic font, bigger text, and wider spacing on any Kindle device or app.
Clear, heavy-bottomed letter shapes, larger text, and short lines with ragged right edges — never justified.
Cream paper in print and a sepia background on Kindle to reduce glare and visual stress.
Narrated by the author, with each word highlighted as it is spoken through Kindle + Audible Read & Listen.
Every Reader's Edition pairs with an audiobook narrated by author Kellye Potter. With Kindle + Audible's Read & Listen feature, each word is highlighted as it's spoken — your child's eyes guided through the story at exactly the reading pace. Read-along audio helps dyslexic readers, readers with ADHD, autistic readers, English language learners, and any child who has decided reading is “too hard.”
In the Happy Readers Edition read-along, a soft bell means it's time to turn the page — so young readers can look up, breathe, and reorient without losing their place.

— QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK —
High-legibility typefaces, larger text, wider spacing between letters and lines, short lines with ragged right edges, cream paper or sepia backgrounds, and generous paragraph breaks, which reduce the visual confusion that makes decoding exhausting.
A print book with cream paper and high-legibility type, paired with a read-along audiobook, gives a dyslexic child the best chance to enjoy and finish a story independently.
Yes. Kindle devices and apps include the OpenDyslexic font, adjustable text size, and sepia backgrounds. With Audible's Read & Listen feature, each word is highlighted as the narrator reads.
Dyslexia is identifiable as early as age 5.5, but most children are formally identified between ages 6 and 8. Ween books are written for ages 6-9.
Very few. Most dyslexia-friendly children's publishing focuses on decodable chapter books. Beautiful trade picture books reformatted for dyslexic readers are rare — which is why we make them.
