One of the most recognized television and film actors of all time, Henry Winkler captured America’s heart and tickled its funny bone as Arthur Fonzarelli on the 1970s hit show Happy Days. Today, Henry is bringing happy days to young readers with his Hank Zipzer book series, which follows a young student who faces learning challenges. The stories in the series are largely based on Henry’s own real-life experiences in the classroom and his struggles with dyslexia. Henry’s message to kids is clear: “If you can imagine it, you can do it.” Now that is cool.
