This is an easy-to-read, honest series. Each book contains fact boxes throughout the text. The books profile real-life blind and deaf students. There is also discussion about Helen Keller and Louis Braille. Photographs show readers the different things that blind and deaf people use to help them throughout their day, including a scanner, a screen reader, cochlear implants, hearing aids, and guide dogs. Finally the books show the American Sign Language and the Braille alphabets. This educational series is interesting and informative without being condescending or patronizing. Deborah Kent uses her remarkable knowledge of the subjects (she is blind herself) to show that these limitations can be overcome and people can live productive, fulfilling lives. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index. Recommended, Library Media Connection January/February 2013
