A New York Times Book Review choice as one of the 10 Best
Illustrated Children's Books of 2008 It is very hard for a sighted
person to imagine what it is like to be blind. This groundbreaking,
award-winning book endeavors to convey the experience of a person
who can only see through his or her sense of touch, taste, smell or
hearing. Raised black line drawings on black paper, which can be
deciphered by touch, complement a beautifully written text
describing colors through imagery. Braille letters accompany the
text so that the sighted reader can begin to imagine what it is
like to use Braille to read. A full Braille alphabet at the end of
the book can be used to learn more. Correlates to the Common Core
State Standards in English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.1
