and a review from MONDO
"One of the most exciting reads from this year's MoCCA Festival is Tory Woollcott's graphic memoir 'Mirror Mind.' It chronicles some of her experiences growing up with dyslexia. Her book also includes a host of resources for those who want to learn more about dyslexia."
- The Best Comics from the 2010 MoCCA Art Festival The Daily News.
“MIRROW MIND was like walking through my own troubled childhood learning experience. Tory tells the story of her struggles to read with clarity, passion, and skill. In the end, she learns, as I did, that dyslexia doesn’t define us, it amplifies us.”
- Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author
