The Power of a Mother’s Love
“I had to be like that to help him. I wasn’t like that initially. I think any mother, when they have to try to help their children, it makes them strong, and, I have to say I really fought for Michael. I was what they call an anxious mother.”

Reviews
“Mical should be seen by every child, school, educator, preservice teacher and policymaker. It perfectly encapsulates the frustration and struggles that those of us with dyslexia face as well as the impact this has on self-esteem. It also shows the world that dyslexia doesn’t make us lesser in any way and that when taught in a way that takes into account our differences, that we really can soar!”
– Georgia, 2019/2020 Youth Ambassador for Dyslexia Mid-North Coast Australia
“Anyone who watches this and cannot chose to do better for dyslexics, must not have a heart.”
– Julie Holmes McKinley, The Dyslexia Initiative
This is absolutely incredible!! I mean so well done, tears, and laughter. Pride and excitement. So moving. I can’t wait for it to be able to be shared. It will definitely be motivational and an instant hit.
