Author aims to unknot the world of dyslexia

A Waterford-based writer is to launch a book which aims to help children with dyslexia to recognise and understand their difficulties.

Words Get Knotted by Pippa Sweeney has been described as “a breath of fresh air” by an expert on early education.

Sweeney worked as a freelance illustrator in London in the 1980s and now lives in Co Waterford. Just before graduating from Univer-sity College Falmouth in 2011 with an MA in Illustration (Authorial Practice) she discovered her daughter had dyslexia and became passionate about raising awareness.
