Our Authors
Jonathan Greenberg
Co-Author and Illustrator
Born with dyslexia, Jonathan could not read and write like many other children his age. So instead of acting out, Jonathan used his struggle as a catalyst for creativity by expressing his ideas through art. Having overcome his learning impediment, Jonathan has fallen in love with reading. Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Aiport Adventure exemplify Jonathan’s passion for writing and illustration. He and his mother and writing partner, Lynn, are already thinking of other stories that complement this book. To learn more about Jonathan and his work, visit Creationaire Arts.
Lynn Greenberg
Co-Author
Lynn is the happiest wife, mom, and grandma. A very retired attorney who loves to cook, exercise, and read, she has seen how positivity with feelings and differences can allow children to grow into happy, productive adults. During COVID-19, when many families were living together with an abundance of unscheduled free time, Lynn and Jonathan began to work on the concepts and ideas for Robby. As ideas developed, they became increasingly invested in the character, his story, and the impact this endeavor could have on others.
Meet Author & Illustrator, Jonathan Greenberg:
Dyslexia and Art
When I was younger I couldn’t read or write and after getting tested, I discovered that I was dyslexic. While I was able to receive the attention I needed to overcome this difference, for some time I had trouble expressing myself. I quickly found that I could convey my emotions to people with art; ever since then, I rarely go anywhere without pen and paper. Dyslexia isn’t a curse and has allowed me to view life in ways no one else can. I want to show people how I see the world and I hope to do just that through my creations.
