When I was five, my favorite book was Leo the Late Bloomer. Leo resembled me in many ways... he never felt like he could do anything right. He was behind all of his friends in his abilities. I struggled to learn how to read as a first grader, and this book was the first book I actually memorized. I was so, so happy I could read, although my parents were not fooled by my memorization :) Anytime I'm "behind" in life, my parents quickly remind me of Leo, and reassure me that everything will eventually be ok.
