Why Zander Nova?
Inspired by a real child who loves legos, puzzles, and building amazing things, that is working to build conifdence in reading — Zander Nova exists to show kids that being the hero isn't limited by how they learn. We want every child to see the fun in reading and know that they can do this along with all their amazing gifts.
Like many children with learning differences, Zander’s inspiration has incredible strengths that can be overlooked in traditional settings. Through Zander’s adventures, we highlight creativity, persistence, and problem-solving as superpowers, not problems.
