The Black Book of Colors is a fabulous book that gives a reader a look into the world of a blind child, but it also is a great book for a blind child. The book is written in both braille and regular text. All the illustrations are in black and are raised. One must use their sense of touch to read the illustrations fully. I highly recommend this book for a library, it is a fabulous book to add to the diversity collection. The story compares colors to other senses - touch, smell and taste. Giving a child the chance to experience the world as a blind person can encourage empathy and understanding. This book is a treasure in helping others see what can not be seen visually by others.
