Crystal Marcos's Reviews > The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination

This is a great story of a young girl who loses her sight over the course of a year. 4.5 I normally don't give half stars anymore since they are all counted the same with the star rating as a 5 anyway, but I just had to deduct a half point for the story losing me a couple times. It could have been in the translation from the original text. Which I wish I could understand it in its original form. It is a lengthy story short on text per page but contains many pages.

The illustrations however kept me turning page after page wondering what would happen next. This would have made a wonderful wordless book. I love the imagination in this book! I elected not to read this to my 2 year old, because I didn't think she would stay tuned. After her nap, to my surprise she turned every single one of those pages, page by page and talked to me about something she found. I was delighted.
