Have you ever heard of Dyscalculia? I didn't until I read our next guest author's children's book, Cassidy and the Mixed-Up Numbers. We talk to Best-Selling Author Dezi Sheppard about her latest book that follows a young girl named Cassidy struggling with Dyscalculia and how she learns to empower herself while educating her classmates. This fantastic book has a depth that adults can see and understand while children find their voice. The colorful illustrations are vibrant and fun for children to look at while listening to a narrative that educates them at the same time.

At 22, Dezi Shepperd worked as a secretary for the New York City Department of Education District 75/Special Education. While an employee, it was suggested she get tested for a learning disability. She then learned she had a learning disability called Dyscalculia and ADHD. The diagnosis changed her academic career and gave her the confidence to re-enroll in college and eventually graduate with her BA in Psychology. Her experience having a learning disability inspired her to write Cassidy and the Mixed Up Numbers. She hopes to bring awareness to unseen learning disabilities such as Dyscalculia.
