Bookroo's summary

Leland, a seven-year-old with a passion for drawing, struggles with writing and his teacher. He imagines Delilah, a seeing-eye dog, to guide him. When a local painter sees Leland's artistic talent, his confidence grows. His sharp observation skills help find his missing cat, and he learns to understand his teacher's perspective. Can Leland's creativity bridge the gap between his world and the expectations around him?

From the publisher

Seven-year-old Leland has trouble writing, but he loves drawing. He so dislikes his teacher that he conjures up Delilah, an imaginary seeing-eye dog to help him into class each day. When a neighborhood painter recognizes Leland’s gifts as an artist, Leland grows more confident about the world as he uniquely sees it. And when his family’s cat goes missing, it is Leland’s keen observation skills that lead to finding him. Leland’s newfound confidence helps him both confront and sympathize with his teacher, who only wishes Leland could be a bit more focused.
