The Colors of Darkness by Feather Chelle – Review by Nicole Elizabeth

Colors of Darkness: Ability Awareness Activity Book by Feather Chelle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book isn’t a title I’d normally gravitate to, but the description intrigued me a bit. I grew up with a few girls that were deaf and it always interested me how they could adapt and how we (their classmates) adapted and learned with them. Although I don’t remember all the sign language I once knew, I still remember most of the alphabet and have found it helpful in my life.

That said, this book wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be. It was short, which I was expecting by the page count, but I felt like it was missing… something. I wanted more.

It would be a good resource for those unfamiliar with blindness at a young age. The activities could teach lasting lessons if done right. I liked the overall ‘our differences make us special’ message, and how the author touches on the fact that we’re all more different than we are alike. I’ve never really thought about it that way.

I’d give this book a 3/5 just because I think there needs to be more. More in the beginning, middle and even the end. Great idea overall though. Happy I took a look, hope the author will expand on the idea in the future.
