“This book is important because today when most blind children are educated in regular schools it is vital that sighted children have books they can read about blind children and how they learn. There are very few books available at this level in school or public libraries or even in print.” Swedish children’s book review journal Synvärlden, Ken Stuckey
“The message that comes across in this primer is that reading is fun whether one uses one’s eyes or one’s fingers.”School Library Journal, August 1998
