Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind

I remember there was another book called Food At Your Fingertips. I never got that one I think one summer when I went to this 5-week program up at the Michigan School For The Blind, there was a lady named Mrs. Schultz or something like that. She came from somewheredown South like maybe Arkansa
