Questo libro nasce dal bisogno di raccontare la quotidianità di una famiglia per tre quarti neurodivergente: e così, tra compiti a ostacoli e lettere che si rincorrono, prende forma un racconto vivo, umano, che mescola il memoir al consiglio pratico, l'esperienza personale alla riflessione condivisa; senza la pretesa di insegnare, ma con il desiderio di offrire uno spaccato di vita e uno sguardo onesto su ciò che significa convivere con la dislessia - da genitori e da figli -, affrontando le difficoltà ma anche valorizzando le risorse, i talenti, le prospettive diverse.

Михаил Александрович Врубель - русский художник рубежа XIX–XX веков, работавший практически во всех видах и жанрах изобразительного искусства. Несмотря на великие несчастья, постигшие его в жизни, несмотря на страшное одиночество, отсутствие поддержки и невозможности реализовать в полной мере хоть один из своих грандиозных планов, он оставался верен своей задаче и своему искусству.
