About This Book
A young girl’s exploration of the city she loves. A young girl and her father spend a day in the city, her city, traveling to the places they go together. As they do, the girl, who is visually impaired, describes what she senses in delightfully precise, poetic detail.

Our Review
A young girl who is visually impaired takes readers on a vibrant sensory tour of her city, describing the urban landscape through the rich details she perceives. Guided by her father, she experiences the metropolis not through sight, but through a symphony of sounds, a tapestry of scents, and the tactile feel of her surroundings. The city comes alive with its "pitter and patter" and "ding and dong," proving that a place can be known and loved through its unique soundscape and atmosphere. This narrative offers a beautifully different perspective on a familiar setting, focusing on auditory and olfactory experiences.
What makes this story so distinctive is its authentic portrayal of a child's non-visual exploration, celebrating the other senses with poetic precision. The lyrical, onomatopoeic language is a delight to read aloud, making it an engaging experience for both the reader and the young listener. This book is a wonderful tool for fostering empathy and awareness, helping all children understand a different way of experiencing the world. It leaves a lasting impression about the many ways a place can be known and cherished.
