His parents were middle class by reservation standards and did not have a stable paycheck, so they had to rely on government surplus food. Alexie's father was an avid reader and filled their house with books on various topics. This devotion and love for his father influenced Alexie's love of books and, ultimately, his education. Alexie believed reading at an early age would normally have made him a prodigy, but because he was an Indian boy, he was considered an oddity. Because of stereotypes and low expectations, at school a smart Indian was feared and ridiculed by Indian classmates who never showed their proficiency to non-Indians but did show their capabilities at home around family.

Sherman Alexie, the author of "The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me", lived in poverty on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington, and still managed to learn how to read Superman comics at the age of 3. His father had piles of books everywhere in their house which influenced Alexie's determination and education. By the time he started school he was reading a few grades higher than others. Being Native American people were misjudged him about his intelligence. He never let people get under his skin. He was thinking positive and made sure he was doing his best.  Though his first plan was to become a pediatrician, he became an inspirational writer to fellow Native American students.
