Oh, Chicken Thunder! Oh, how I wonder?

When someone would tap along and rescue me from being sandwiched between these two hardbacks, sorry, did I frighten you? You never heard or seen a talking book. Well, me either. The majority of the time, I am the only one in the room, or shall I say, “on the shelf”? So many humans walk right past me, playing blind games by pretending not to see that the struggle is real. Talk about the lack of accessibility.

Pardon me if I appear cranky, not to mention dusty because of social isolation. I often experience common barriers such as being overlooked, underpaid, and underestimated, fostering stagnant behavior. Don’t get me misconstrued; I thank God that you were led to give me an opportunity to be read. Brailling right along, all I ever wanted was for society to be blinded by my ambition and not my disability. Please take a moment to witness the abilities that I possess, along with education and life experiences.

I am an open book, perfectly designed by 10 Outta Sight Visionaries with insight that one can see beyond 20/20 without 20/20. Truthfully, it took them to lose sight to gain the vision to see better days. But, they chose to live and write to heal.

Great book!

I was recommended this book by a colleague, Natalie, who is a close friend of the author. Needless to say, I finished it within a day! Wonderful book filled with incredible stories of resilience in the face of challenges. The book takes you on the emotional journey of multiple people with blind/low vision and the experiences navigating the world without sight. Whether you are visually impaired or simply curious to know what some experiences of visually imputed people look like, you should give this one a read!!!
