Book Description | Living with the use of one's eyes can make imagining blindness difficult, but this innovative title invites readers to imagine living without sight through remarkable illustrations done with raised lines and descriptions of colours based on imagery. Braille letters accompany the illustrations and a full Braille alphabet offers sighted readers help reading along with their fingers. This extraordinary title gives young readers the ability to experience the world in a new way. |
Editorial Review | "The Black Book of colours provides an excellent opportunity for children and adults to explore experiences and perspectives that are different from their own. Through the content and format of this book, readers will begin to understand the experience of a person who can only see through his or her other senses. . . The content stimulates the imagination. . . This book also has the value of teaching all readers to appreciate difference and, indirectly, the importance of inclusion. The Black Book of colours is fully accessible to children who are blind, and it will validate their own experiences and acknowledge them as experts in reading by touch. . . . a very appropriate 'educational resource' in the classroom. . . [and] a unique and innovative reading experience. Highly Recommended." -- CM Magazine --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition. |
