Episode 535 - Lynn Greenberg and Jonathan Greenberg - Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure, what makes you different is what makes you great

Robby the taxi has dyslexia, but he doesn’t let that stand in the way of doing a great job driving riders all around the city. Even though he can’t read the street signs, he has a wonderful memory and knows the streets by heart. One day, a regular customer asks him to go somewhere he’s never been… the airport! But Robby has solved problems like this before, and he finds his way to the airport using his unique outlook and creative skills.

This delightful tale was co-written by Lynn Greenberg and her son Jonathan, who also illustrated the book. Jonathan was born with dyslexia, and with the help of Lynn, learned to overcome his learning differences through creativity and art. By sharing Robby the Dyslexic Taxi with your little one, you’ll start them on their journey to learning how to solve their problems as well, whether they have dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or just need a boost in the direction of finding creative solutions for interesting, unexpected, and difficult problems.

Jonathan Greenberg
Author and Illustrator

Jonathan Greenberg was diagnosed with dyslexia as a young child. While he always knew that he learned differently than others, he did not let it personify who he was. Like most kids, Jonathan had a bookshelf full of books, however since he couldn’t read them at first, he became captivated with the artwork and illustrations of every one of them. Jonathan worked hard and overcame his disability, however, his love for art developed into his own passion.

Jonathan is currently a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago so teaming up with his mother, an advocate for neurodiverse children, to co-author and illustrate a children’s book was a natural evolution.

Jonathan looks forward to continuing to create and illustrate stories with neurodiverse characters while also expanding his own artistic endeavors through other mediums.

Lynn Greenberg
Author

Lynn Greenberg has focused her life on being a champion for children. As a trained Attorney, Lynn spent her time in the legal world practicing family law, providing pro bono work for kids, and advocating on their behalf.

When her youngest son Jonathan was diagnosed with Dyslexia, becoming his advocate, as well as others, came easy. Understanding how to gather facts and create strategic plans, Lynn developed a road map to success for her son and has since become an active supporter of all neurodivergent children.

Writing a children’s book with Jonathan was simply the natural progression for Lynn. Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure was born out of Lynn’s desire for neurodivergent children to be able to see themselves in characters in a storyline. Lynn plans to continue creating stories relatable for all children.
