In Holiday Reads, the article lists out numerous holiday books that are written by Dyslexics. Dyslexia is a fairly common disorder that impacts the brains ability to read words, letters, and other symbols. One famous author with dyslexia is the creator of Charlie Brown and Peanuts. Another is the author of the Percy Jackson stories.

Peanuts is well known, but especially for the ‘wah wah wah’ of the children’s teacher, a homage to the dyslexia of Charles Schultz being unable to fully understand what his teacher was saying.
Christmas Tapestry and The Trees of the Dancing Goats Charlie Brown Piano Song Book and Complete Peanuts (link is to 1965-66; many in the series) [Peanuts’ Charles Schultz makes many ‘Famous Dyslexics” lists – and he often has comic strips that refer to LDs. Schultz did repeatedly fail classes in middle school. I do fondly remember our kids reading their way through piles of Peanuts books over Christmas breaks.]
