When her class is given the task of creating a picture, Lucy decides to make hers for her Grandfather who is blind. So she goes about her assignment a bit differently from the rest of the class. Even the teacher does not know what Lucy is up to, which is part of the charm.

Though there are clues sprinkled throughout the story, I think it takes at least two read throughs to find them all. Lucy's enthusiastic pusuit of her goal makes the story zip by in a hurry. Filled with bright colors, this gentle story is never preachy or overbearing, flaws that mar too many kid's books about "differences."

Appropriate for any age. This story is about a little girl named Lucy. When her class is given an activity of creating a picture, most students loved using all the paints. Lucy however decides to make hers with something else in mind because her Grandfather is visiting her and he is blind. So she goes about her assignment by making a very interesting collage, where touch exceeds sight. Initially, even the teacher does not know what Lucy is up to. I was so pleased to see the teacher calmly letting Lucy go about her exploration, instead of forcing her to use paints. I really enjoyed the shift from visual to the touch sensation, because so much of our lives are visually over stimulated. I feel this wonderful book can be used as an example in a collage lesson for any age group.

Hi I am Lucy a 6 year old who lives in London.Please read more of Nicola Moon's books. Even though Grandpa can't see he is still wonderful. PLease read Nicola's other books because they are neat. From: Lucy With help from mom

Great story, funny, sweet, with great pictures, includes a special needs character. Shows great love between a child and her grandfather.

I am now 12, but I got this book when I was 6. I loved it, my copy is all battered now but it holds a deep lesson. Be different. I was always different, but people accept you, maybe thats why i'm one of the mose popular girls at school. Purchase this . . . u won`t regret it!
