Description In Pursuance Of Books The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination
I loved this book from my first stumbling across it while hunting for a birthday present - I bought the child something else (not a book sort), but I bought this book for myself. I wasn't sure my son would like it - age 7 at the time of first reading - this story of a woman who no longer has sight and how she starts her journey on a subway train and where she goes in her mind. It's beautiful and unexpected and uplifting and yet sad in that we are all fragile humans way... and my son - to my happiness - looked at me when we finished reading the book and asked if we could read it again, right then and there. We did.Itemize Books Concering The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination

Jimmy Liao never let you down. :)This is about a girl that is blind and she finds her way around the city and the different things she is imagining while wondering through the city. I would show the students that are many different types of people in the world and if they are different do not mean they are weird.
A young girl with a vision impairment travels around a city via the subways. She tells her story as she sees the world through her imagination after losing her sight. This book gives children insight to the life of someone who cannot see, and it empowers children with vision impairments to do anything that they set their minds to.
Liao's illustrations are absorbing. Lovely details. Fun things hidden in plain sight. Small dog motif. Dignified response to loss without overplaying loss of sight. Thought-provoking.
The journey of a young lady who loses her eyesight and the path she goes on towards acceptance and healing. Beautifully done.
leaf through it during a mid-day nap in a friend's house, by the river. It's about the beautiful soul of a blind girl. Her eyes might not see the world, but her heart sees through its beauty.I found myself in shame. With a good vision, I'm not able to figure out the beauty as she does.And, the book, slowly, like a little spring, hacks into the deepest corner of my long-lost childhood dream - to write a play/ a book for kids.
The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination, by Jimmy Liao, is a book that made me say WOW, what an interesting perspective that I normally don't think about. Overcoming a disability as in being blind would take an extreme amount of patience. This beautiful written and illustrated book makes me think about blindness in a different light, about the emotional healing that this girl must be going though with this disability.A young girl, who is the main character in this greatly illustrated
