This is a touching story, I can't imagine going blind after seeing my whole life. I think this is a great book for anyone who is facing some sort of impairment that is the result of an accident or an illness. This book was first written in 1957 but to me it felt like it had been written within the last 10 years or so.
After Jimmy is blinded in an accident with a firecracker, he has to relearn all the things he used to know. With the help of a determined therapist, he learns to read Braille and to 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.
