I agree with you, Jill, only because, as a sighted
person, I think perhaps I over-describe while at the
same time not describing something because I assume
the person knows what it is--and if the person has
never seen the object, like a tightrope walker, he/she
would actually need more explanation.
Anyway, I will get the book, so if you can't find
anyone, I'll do it.
I misunderstood. I thought you were going to submit it
and wanted someone to validate it. But you're right
about the text around pictures not scanning properly.
Often the page has a colored background and so the
text doesn't scan. Anyway, as I said, I'll do the
book and submit it if you're unable to find anyone
else. It's true that a blind parent could read it to
a sighted child, and I suppose if the chilid were too
young she couldn't describe the pictures
necessarily--but also the book is meant to be read by
beginning readers, so it would be good for a blind
child to be able to read it with descriptions. He or
she might be able to imagine objects and people, but I
suppose the colors might be hard to imagine.
Please let me know what you find out, i.e., if you've
found someone to do it or if you want me to.
