The Venezuelan author Jorge Luis Rivero brings to the country for the first time his book The story of Gabriel , a dyslexic child, with which he seeks to make visible the importance of offering support and the necessary tools to children and young people with this condition for their full insertion in the school and work life. His message: there is no impediment to achieving the proposed goals, and he presents it within the framework of world events for International Dyslexia Day, which is celebrated every October 8.
Told from tenderness and innocence, The story of Gabriel, a dyslexic child, starts from the author's experience and how he had to face difficult situations, fear and misunderstanding; but also how he found angels who guided him on the right path for his professional growth and development. He is now a lawyer specializing in criminal law and human rights, a lecturer and was a member of Amnesty International . His is a journey through memory that has as its context the Venezuela of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
The book had a first digital printing in 2019. Now, after the hardest months of confinement due to covid-19, it finally arrives in its physical version. Those interested can purchase it at the La Sopa de Letras bookstore, located in Parque Cultural Hacienda La Trinidad, or by contacting the writer through his social networks.

The book is divided into six parts and a prologue written by toymaker Mario Calderón.
