This was a super quick read. Read it in one sitting. It was an interesting read as she documents what happened, how she felt and what it was like going blind at 25yrs old.

Leslie and her mom, Sally (the author — the book is more or less autobiographical) are a close mother-daughter pair. Mom is blind, and she always wears a pair of glamorous sunglasses to protect her eyes. Leslie is elementary-school-age and though she’s been aware of her mom being blind since she was just four months old (a fascinating fact), she’s still learning why her mother being blind makes a difference. Though this book may be a bit dated, it still read it really fluidly and sweetly. My critique is that it uses some dated language, like handicapped and “normal people”. I wish this book could simply be updated to have current language. The book does educate about blindness but in a way that also inclusive. I loved the photographs, and how the mom’s outfit changes in every photo.… (mer)

An older book but very relevant and applicable information. The story is about a child and her mother, Sally who is blind. It is told from her daughter's perspective and how not only the mother had to make significant adjustment due to her blindness but also her family members. A great short story chock-full of practical life changing instances for a family who love their mother and sees her still. Love this simplicity of this book and the picture illustrations of this family.
