Molly gets diagnosed with dyslexia and learns it's okay to ask for help when she needs it. 

Molly has a big imagination and loves to solve problems and learn new things. But Molly also struggles to spell, write, and read as quickly as her classmates. With the support of her friend Lexi (an imaginary character who represents being dyslexic), Molly summons the courage to ask her teacher Mr. Mitchell for help. Molly learns how to self-advocate and discovers that it's okay to be different.
