From Annie Thomassen: I am left-handed and have always felt that I was a member of a special group of people. I am proud to be a lefty, as a child in school and at home I met the inconveniences, and they were inconveniences, of functioning in a right-handed world with challenge and an attitude of an over comer. Why Annie wrote this book: Handedness is a very stimulating subject that raises much emotion by both lefties and righties alike. I have always thought it was interesting that I was born left-handed and have always been curious as to why people are born with a side preference. In my undergraduate studies at college, I had the opportunity to write a paper and I chose the topic, Left-handedness, Causes and Consequences which led me to some very interesting information on left-handedness, side dominance and the myths that surround being left-handed. Also during my research, I began home schooling my then 9 year old lefty daughter, Jelica, and found that there was very little information or help in teaching a left-handed child. Finally, the fact that everything from zipping a zipper to using a cash machine is geared to righties, Therefore, I decided there was a great need for a book of this kind. Left-Handed But Not Left Behind, A Positive Approach for the Left-handed Student written by Annie Thomassen has practical teaching tips and the latest left-handed information. Annie lives in Sarasota, Florida with her right-handed husband Harry who lets her keep the mouse on the left side of the keyboard. They have two daughters, Erin a righty, and Jelica, a lefty.
