Official synopsis Publisher
One little girl who plays, learns, and has fun is just the same as all her friends–except that she cannot see. As she invites her friends and readers to close their eyes and see what she sees, the girl builds blocks, makes puppets with her socks, climbs a tree, rides a bike, and plays tag. She is having so much fun growing up. She teaches everyone around her that even though she is blind, she still has abilities, hopes, and dreams–even if she may have to do things in a different way.Close Your Eyes shares delightful rhymes and engaging illustrations to foster an understanding of what is possible for disabled children while encouraging acceptance of differences.”It is a hard concept for a young child to grasp that another child can’t see, but your focus on the humanness and similarity between children keeps a balance.”–Audra Kaplan, PsyD, clinical psychologist
