Description/Notes
John's Grandpa is blind. But Grandpa has his own way of seeing. And for John this makes a day spent with Grandpa an adventure--of new sounds and smells and ways of doing everyday things. John's blind grandfather shares with him the special way he sees and moves in the world. John loves Grandpa's house the best because he sees it through Grandpa's eyes. Grandpa is blind but he has his own way of seeing.When Nana sculpts Grandpa's head out of clay, Grandpa's fingers tell him it looks like him. 'Pretend your fingers are water, ' he tells John. In the meadow, Grandpa hears the song sparrow even before John sees it. And Grandpa smells the marigolds among the plates of eggs and toast on the kitchen table.In this beautifully illustrated picture book, author and artist tell a tender story about a young boy who learns to see through his grandpa's eyes.
