Reach for this book when you want to nurture a child's empathy or explain how people with physical disabilities navigate the world using different senses. It is especially poignant for families where a grandparent or relative may be experiencing vision loss, as it provides a beautiful framework for maintaining a deep, creative connection despite physical limitations. In the story, young Lucy is making a picture at school, but instead of using just paint, she selects twigs, velvet, and feathers. While her classmates create visual art, Lucy is crafting a sensory experience for her blind grandfather. This gentle narrative celebrates the power of creative problem solving and the unique ways we can show love to those we care about. It is a perfect choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to understand that their own perspective is not the only way to experience the world.
