Meet Kathleen, a confident sixteen-year-old who is blind-and who experiences the world in her own capable, curious, and joyful way.
Kathleen reads with her fingertips, travels with a white cane, uses accessible technology, and works as a team with Sunny, her golden Labrador guide dog. She enjoys music, jokes with her friends, helps at home, rides the bus, explores new places, and dreams about the life and career she will build for herself.
Along the way, Kathleen explains how braille works, what a guide dog does, and why the best way to offer assistance is to ask first. She also reminds readers that blindness is only one part of who she is.
Warm, honest, and encouraging, I Am Blind - And It's Okay helps children understand blindness while celebrating confidence, independence, friendship, and possibility.
An affirming addition to classrooms, school libraries, disability-awareness programs, and family conversations about inclusion.
