Description

From CBS San Francisco: SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF/AP) — The latest news about California Gov. Gavin Newsom is more personal, if less dramatic, than the recall effort he easily defeated two weeks ago. He has written a children's book. Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, announced Thursday that Newsom's "Ben and Emma's Big Hit" is scheduled for Dec. 7. Illustrated by Alexandra Thompson, the book draws upon Newsom's dyslexia in telling of a boy named Ben and his struggles in school. The words will appear in OpenDyslexic font to make it more readable for people with dyslexia.
