Winkler began writing children’s books about Hank Zipzer, a boy with dyslexia navigating school and life. The series struck a chord with young readers who saw their own struggles reflected in Hank.
Winkler responds personally to every child who writes to him, reminding them that a learning difference is not a limitation. Today, though he still lives with dyslexia, Henry Winkler is a beloved actor, author, and advocate. He considers his books his greatest achievement—proof that perseverance can turn childhood hardship into hope for others.
