What is color blindness, and how does it affect a person’s everyday life? Readers discover the answers to these questions and more as they follow a narrative about what it’s like to live with color blindness and what it’s like to have a friend who has this condition. Clear and concise text provides relatable examples, and fact boxes add helpful information. In addition, full-color photographs enhance this reading experience, which provides a valuable exercise in developing empathy and understanding different perspectives. The sensitive tone and age-appropriate language make this a valuable resource for young readers.

Praise & Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 1-3-Colorful photos and friendly, informative text explain what the world is like for children with conditions such as color blindness and deafness. For example, photographs show how a boy with red-green color blindness sees a movie differently than his friend who is not color blind. Similarly, photographs of a noisy street scene are labeled to show the varied expereinces of a deaf child and a hearing child. Other photographs show items that support people with physical challenges by showing different types of wheelchairs and different ways spaces can be made accessible for people who use them. The text and photographs beautifully promote understanding of physical challenges and how children deal with them. VERDICT Outstanding photographs, clear text, and an inviting format make this a standout series. Highly recommended for classroom reading and discussion, and for library collections.
