Customer Reviews

We loved this fascinating tale!

Such a great book and perfect for young audiences. Fascinating story about a real person but also an introduction to the challenges blind people face. We read this book before learning about Helen Keller. We also read Listen, about Evelyn Glennie. Wonderful and inspiring stories!
