My Mummy Couldn't Read - Written and illustrated by Carey Rigby-Wilcox

Nominated for SASK BOOK AWARDS:
"Book of the Year 2008"

This is my story told from my son's perspective.  My son taught me that learning to read for yourself has an affect on everyone around you.  And it is never too late to start learning.  Learning to read has not only changed my life for the better, but has also created a wonderful life for my children.  By being able to read, I am able to help my children's dreams come true.

"My Mummy Couldn't Read may be geared towards children, but the book's impact is profound. Through her own words and illustrations, Carey Rigby-Wilcox weaves an autobiographical story of her own emotional journey towards literacy. I highly recommend this book for both kids and adults - the message is touching, the images are lovely, and the author's storytelling abilities gracefully pulled me into her world, making me crave more from this talented woman!"
- Wes Funk, author of Dead Rock Stars and Cherry Blossoms, host of the TV program Lit Happens

"Hi Carey, My 9 year old daughter Kerri read your book "My Mummy Cannot Read" and she told me she loved your story. For her to admit to liking a book is a rare thing indeed. I think you have inspired her as she was asking questions about you. We talked about your struggle and the tricks you did to avoid the reading. I know she relates to that because Kerri will play the piano to avoid anything to do with literacy and she knows that I know that is what she is doing. -- Thank you."
