Descriptions and definitions are often based on visual inputs. In the world of the blind, however, a beautiful flower would be one that is fragrant…a beautiful fabric, one that feels soft to the touch. It is important that we have a literary bank of stories conceived and authored by the Visually Impaired that they can empathize with and fully enjoy. For the sighted, this would mean an opportunity to enter and understand an entirely new realm.
