| Publisher Description: "Whip" Heitman's life looked like it was heading for disaster. After struggling with dyslexia, dropping out of high school, and a close call with the law, Whip found himself a member of the US Navy. But after being discharged, Whip discovered that employment did not come easily-his lack of education had caught up with him. And so began Whip's journey to educate himself. After attending college without a high school diploma, Whip soon fell in love with learning and felt compelled to share his passion with others-and in America's last frontier of Alaska, no less. From an Eskimo village to an Athabascan Indian village and eventually to Fairbanks, Whip's story is one of hair-raising adventure buoyed by good humor. The perfect book for anyone who's dealt with learning disabilities, Wow That's Cool, Whip celebrates the power of education and a lifelong relationship with language and learning. |
