Sound of Colors by written and illustrated by Jimmy Liao - translated by Sarah L. Thomson

A young blind girl travels from one subway station to another while her imagination takes her to impossibly wonderful places. This picture book was originally written in Chinese. It is one of those picture books that can be for anyone and really makes you think about being blind in a different way. This author really has a way of expressing the disability without making it seem like a disability.

I'm looking forward to his new book - Blue Stone which just came out.
