It is interesting that Follow My Leader should come up here. When I was a
child I somehow acquired a stack of used paperback books. I don't recall how
I acquired them nor what ever happened to them, but one of them was Follow
My Leader. Over the years I completely forgot about that book and had no
reason to believe it was more than the most obscure of books. In my adulthood,
though, I lost my eyesight and then I remembered that book. I remembered very
little about it, but one thing I did remember was how one of the characters
differentiated between his money. I then adopted that method as my own way
of telling which bills I had. That which really strikes me now is that I
went from childhood to adulthood without ever hearing about that book and not
even remembering it until I became blind and then went on another twenty-one
years without hearing anything about it either, and now, within about one
month it comes up on two different email lists I am subscribed to.

There are some great books out there for kids.
I mean, let's see, what have we had in the past, but of course Follow My
Leader, which was well, rather fictional wouldn't yah say.

I do like a booked out by Sally Hobart Alexander, (am almost ready to
submit
it) called She Touched the World that is a realistic biography of Laura
Bridgman the first deaf blind person to be educated in America.
Also Keep Your Ear on the Ball is good, we have that one in the collection
is another good one. As is Cane In Her hand.
