Seeing in Special Ways: Children Living with Blindness

The children depicted here all attend a special school for children who cannot see. Through interviews with them, Bergman uncovers some of the thoughts of children who are blind. We learn about how these children live each day, about their feelings, about the funny things and the sad. The book shows that illness and disability should not cause separation, embarrassment, and fear. Instead, they can inspire us to reach out to share our lives. Contains a helpful glossary. Includes answers to the questions children most often ask about disabilities and a series of projects that will help readers better understand the lives of children with blindness.
