I found this book was very useful in more than one way, it brought a great understanding for those who read it that may not have known much about things that do not come as everyone. I have a brother who has autism so this book really was a mind blown wonder for me, I really enjoyed it and I truly appreciate the author to what they have done here! A lot of us don’t truly understand what it is like to be blind or even unable to hear as we normally do. This book had activities’ for us to experience what people or children like that have to do every day. It was a powerful book of activities. I feel a lot of people would benefit form this, and have a form of understanding This is a activity book that MUST be experienced. Its beautiful and wonderful all at the same time! Thank you to this wonderful author for creating this!

5 stars!

This book to me, is the perfect way to explain blindness or visual impairments. The author gives tests or activities you can try at home to get a small taste of what it is like for someone with a visual impairment. I liked the info on Braille, I am happy that there was an alphabet made for the visually impaired to “read” it is a very cleaver system. I am also very happy to see that there have been many changes in the world to adapt to those who are impaired visually to be able to live out their everyday lives with some “normalcy”. This book really made me think about how I view things in my life and what I take for granted.

This is a wonderful book. As a vision impaired person, I found it be quite helpful and entertaining to use with my grandson. We loved the descriptions of items in the book such as popcorn and babies. The activities started many interesting conversations. A wonderful resource that we will use again because it was nice to actually use these activities to learn and have family time. I love finding books that the author helps people become aware of other’s abilities. Thanks for sharing! Highly recommend.

This is a great poem and activity book. More importantly it was an inspirational insight to what it’s like to be blind or deaf. I learned so much about the different types of blindness and about myself. This book is a book of reflection. How do you overcome obstacles? How can you apply what you’ve leaned in this book to your life? Anyone reading this should walk away with a better understanding of themselves and of others. I think this should be used in schools. I intend on having my 13 year old work on it with me. It’s age appropriate and I believe it’ll create more understanding and acceptance of someone else who has a “disability”.

This book was an eye opener for me. As an individual I can’t say that I have ever thought about what someone who is blind goes through in this visual world we live in. This book allowed me to explore some of the ways they experience the world and how they “see” in a different way. I loved how the author helped me to see that anyone who is visually impaired can be and do anything that they want to do. This book is a must read for anyone who would like to explore or find out more about visually impaired individuals and what they experience living their lives.

Amazingly accurate and best activities

I loved that this book helped to engage the reader. As a person who was deaf as a child and had surgeries enabling them to become hard of hearing the things and activities the author gives to help able bodied people to understand is revioting. I believe more of this is needed. I also loved the poems as it empowered and created visual senses in the mind that were strong and you could imagine them as though you there in that moment.

Aw wow the authors note supisred me. This book really made me think about blind people and how everyday life affects them. It’s a very informative book. I knew about braille before but never knew who created it. Me and my son took the activities in this book and done them together we used it as part of our home education. We found some of the experiences overwhelming as this is not how we are used to precving the world the book gives a great insight onto how others lives who have blindness. Very informative great for adults and kids alike.

What a fantastic book!! It features some amazing descriptions on how it is to have no sight. Although lacking sight the author uses her other senses to move through the wonderful world. If we couldn’t describe what we see we could use other senses and this is masterfully done. This is so relevant to our world today. What a valuable insight on how to love the world through other means while not being able to see it.

Colors of Darkness: Ability Awareness Activity Book by Feather Chelle provides a insightful perspective on living with (dis)ability. The author has been blind since childhood, and through her poetry, and personal journey, she gives us a window into how she experiences life without sight. This is an inspiring book- and I loved how well the author conveys her thoughts and experiences, especially through her poetry.
Looking forward to reading whatever she does next!

Thank you, Feather Chelle!

This was an amazing read! I actually read this with 3 of my grandchildren who truly appreciated every word as I did. The activities were spot on and thought provoking, it was awesome to read a book with them where they asked questions that had me even thinking. I plan to buy this book for a few families as Christmas presents this year. This author is an inspiration and brings awareness to so many things while reading this book. This is so relevant in our world today and I’m so glad I picked this up and so very glad I was able to read it with my grandchildren. It was an honor and might just be one of my favorite reads of the year.

Many thanks to this author for sharing this with all of us!

This is the story of one woman’s view of the world from her point of view with not just hers but with those who have a disability. We get an inside look of what it means to be blind and appreciate how her world is affected and how to adapt. We can close our eyes and try to imagine but we truly have no idea. It is unique, insightful and interesting and an eye opener as you read the poetry and words and try to imagine. It is also an invitation to children and adults to see the world of others with activities. It shows that even in darkness there is colour and beauty.

It is not at all what I would normally read but I was completely captivated by this author and her writing. It felt like such an insightful novel and I felt like you connected with the author directly, which isn’t something that usually happens.
This is is first book that I have read by this author but I was really taken with her style of writing. I thought the book was well thought out and a pleasure to read.

Simply, WOW.
This book should be read in classrooms around the world.
The author of this fabulous book is blind. They have went into detail, for the reader, about experiences and answered questions that are most commonly asked.
They also supplied the alphabet in braille and ASL.
This part is great. I have been taking ASL evening classes to help learn to talk with one of my neighbors. It has been a trial, but I keep at it.
Just like the author, they keep going. They don’t let being blind be the end. They adapt and use other senses to carry on. And we as a world need to do better to help everyone. Not just people that don’t have disabilities.
This story/activity/poem book is perfect for all ages. Everyone should read this.

This is a great interactive children story. I enjoyed how the author used poetry and different activities to get across the point of this book. The author kept the book engaging and the pictures are great. There is plenty to learn in this book and would be great for any child. It teaches them that everybody is different and that each has their own abilities. It is a great book that my daughter and I enjoyed together.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stranded: Cetacea Chronicles Book 1 was a great early reader book! As an adult, I really enjoyed the writing style of this book and the storyline and even learned a thing or two while I read!
I enjoyed that the author, Feather Chelle, included educational aspects within the book that would help children/early readers, and even adults too, learn about the dolphins and whales while reading an adorable, beginner fantasy story with lots of adventure and great description. It really had me cheering on the dolphins and whales as a read-along on their journey!
I highly recommend this book to marine-loving early readers, and I hope that Feather releases the second book soon as I look forward to reading it in the future and to someday share them with my child.

What an amazingly fun tale! My children are grown but I would have loved to be able to read this story to them when they were little. Stories that have facts and Magic are always a favorite of mine but I always prefer reading stories that combine a little realism with my fantasy. The amazing pods you will meet in this story will capture yours and your children’s interest. It had the standard good verses evil in the form of dolphins verses sharks (although I love sharks lol) and told the tale of helping your fellow kind whenever you can. I also think with the very unique situation our kids are facing with the covid pandemic that this book brings light at the end of that dark tunnel of disease. I absolutely recommend this book for anyone who reads to there children or even teachers who would like to read to their class. The facts at the end about all the ocean life discussed in this book would make it appropriate for a teacher looking to add a little marine biology to their science lesson!

Cherish is a Pilot Whale and she lives with her family in the Atlantic Ocean, it is a large group made up young and old, males and females and mothers to be, they are close knit and keep each other safe from harm, that is until they find out that a mysterious disease has been seen infecting dolphins and whales in their vicinity and despite their best efforts to avoid it, some of them have become sick.

As they travel to find somewhere safe for the sick to recover, danger surrounds them and in their efforts to escape, they find themselves in danger of a different kind, they send an SOS message for help in any shape or form, but will anyone answer?

The Dolphin Riders are preparing for another day on their island home when they receive a distress signal from far away, so they speed to the rescue as quickly as they can, but will these saviours arrive in time? This is a beautifully written story for all ages and is full of interesting facts and anyone who reads it will be enchanted by both the characters and the information contained within it as you are brought along the current of the adventures within.

Stranded by Feather Chelle is the first volume of the Cetacea Chronicles. It is a book that teaches while sharing an underwater adventure about the creatures within the story. It is an enjoyable book for young readers. The writing is descriptive to give the reader a good visual of what each creature looks like as well as the location they are at. Cherish and her Pilot Whale family suffer from both a mysterious illness and shark attack. When it seems like there is no escape the Dolphin Riders save the day? I could not stop reading once I started. After reading this story I wish magical island of Cetacea was real and that I could visit it!

Feather did a wonderful job of writing a fictional work that also teaches along the way. I would definitely recommend this book to young readers as well as parents and teachers.

Stranded (Cetacea Chronicles Book 1) by Feather Chelle. This is the best little book about a little family of dolphins. It helps to teach kids about family values, how to work together and about love! The family of dolphins get stuck on an island so they have to work together and figure out how to get back home. They realize that they are all equally important in figuring out how to work together. This book is so sweet and so educational. You really learn a lot about the Ocean and Dolphins in this book as well. I really fell like adults along with kids can learn from this book. Its a really great read!

My children loved this book! It is full of adventure and excitement! The story also focuses on family values, helping others, and teamwork which are great topics for young readers. Along with being a great story, it is educational and can easily spark a love for learning more about the ocean and it’s various inhabitants. To encourage understanding and further learning, Feather Chelle has included a glossary of terms and a wonderfully detailed appendix at the end of the book so readers can learn more about their favorite characters.

Feather Chelle packed this book to the gills with adventure and factual information about marine life! This is a great book for learning about marine ecosystems in a fun way. Stranded, in my opinion, seems like a great teaching tool for elementary students, especially in a Science classroom. The story is captivating and even kept a 30-year-old turning the pages. Feather Chelle describes sea life in great depth and paints wonderous images with her wording.

A children’s story of a pod of whales. Some of the whales are suffering from sickness, and as they are traveling to a new feeding area, they are attacked by a mob of sharks. The sharks push them into the shallows, where one by one, the whales beach themselves. Word of the beached pod of whales reaches the secret Isle of Cetacea. Here live the immortal children that had each been lost and rescued at sea by a special dolphin. The children all had their very own special powers and had the task of caring for the creatures of the sea. This book is filled with factual information interspersed with the story. I highly recommend this book for children.

Feather Chelle’s book Stranded was a joy to read. I love reading novels that remind us that other species have feelings and can operate together as family. Stranded told the story of a family that encountered a potential problem and they worked together to solve it and survive. As a reader I could tell that Feather Chelle feels strongly about this topic and I really loved how she took the time to explain everything that helped her readers really enjoy her book and learn at the same time. I enjoyed this book and would definitely read more from Feather Chelle.
