How a book is made
The author(s) will show students how this picture book was made, from the original stick-figure drawings and pencil text, to the professional sketches and finally, the full-color book.

How do I make friends with kids who have low vision?
Edie will read from the book and tell her own story of being a low vision child in a class with normal-sighted kids. Using the book as a discussion starter, students will:

• Learn what low vision is and how it affects the way kids with visual impairment play and learn.
• Have hands on time with low vision tools like magnifiers, patches, book easels, large print books, etc.
• Role play what kids can say and do when they meet another child with low vision.
• Understand that vision impairment is not so strange and different after all.
