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."
