Kamil, the boy who sees with his hands

Kamil, the boy who sees with his hands

written by Tomasz Małkowski
illustrated by Joanna Rusinek

Kamil is a cheerful, lively five year-old, who goes to kindergarten and loves to make silly jokes. Is he typical? Yes, because he behaves normally. No, because he is blind from birth. The book shows the daily life of such a child, without exaggerated pity, but also without glossing over anything. It consists of several short stories: sometimes happy, sometimes poignant, sometimes dramatic. After reading, children should know how to behave in the company of a blind person: not to comment loudly, not to console, but to help if necessary.
