Curious about Blindness?
by Beth Manuel
Do you have kids or family friends who know someone who is visually impaired? I know I was fascinated about the subject as a child. I've run across a couple books lately that would have fit the bill for me. One is "Do You Remember the Color Blue?" And Other Questions Kids Ask about Blindness by Sally Hobart Alexander & although it is somewhat outdated regarding Assistive Technology, the book asks & answers some tough questions to its blind author. The other book, The Black Book of Colors, has descriptions of color based on imagery & illustrations made with raised lines. Both books, as well as our collection of Braille + Print books can make for an interesting family discussion.
