"Little Murmur was about Subhash that had Dyslexia and he didn’t realise until he was 21 that he had an ‘A’ in his name. At the beginning of the story his movements were very jerky but by the end his movements were more like dance.
I liked it when the paper came down from the ceiling, first it was sheets and then paper dots. They were blown about by a circle of fans. My mum’s favourite bit was when ‘the murmuration of birds magically flew out of his book through the clever use of projection’.
I gave it 4 stars because I think they could have made it clearer what he was doing but then maybe with Dyslexia you don’t always see things clearly?"
