I See Without My Eyes is a story of a young blind girl and how she adapts to living with her disability. She learns to function with it so that she does not let it stand in her way of being the best she can be. This book teaches students about reading in Braille, their senses, and other resources that the blind use to adapt to life without sight.
Nancy Lee Hartman illustrates cute drawings throughout the book that are in cartoon form. The young blind girl seems to be drawn looking almost like a page of coloring book. The illustrations bring light to the struggles and hardships that are faced daily by those who are blind.
This book would be great to read to children in grades kindergarten through third if there is anyone in the class or even in the school that is blind. This book teaches students many of the resources used by the blind that they may see in school or in daily life, for instance, Braille or guide dogs.
