After Jimmy is blinded in an accident with a firecracker, he has to relearn all the things he used to know – how to get dressed, how to find his way around the house, even how to eat. With the help of a determined therapist, he learns to read Braille and use a cane. Then he’s given the chance to have a guide dog. Learning to work with Leader is not easy, but Jimmy tries harder than he ever has before. Can Leader really give him the ability and the confidence he needs?
I found this book to be very insightful in the ways that God created our senses to help us to experience our world with more than our eyes. It would make a great book to enhance studies of the senses and disabilities. It also has a strong message of the power of forgiveness. ~ Nancy
