The Boy Who Opened Our Eyes

Meet Elaine, a loving and sensitive ten-year-old girl who was given a homework assignment that inspired a dream. The Boy Who Opened Our Eyes is the result of that dream. It is the story of her blind little brother, Mark, a fearless and kind six-year-old boy. Sometimes life is fun for Mark, and sometimes it's challenging. But no matter what, Mark always inspires people to treat others with respect and empathy. Join Mark, and meet his family and friends...and his loyal dog, Sparkie, too. Mark will make you laugh and sometimes cry. But one thing's for sure-once you get to know him, he will open your eyes and inspire you to overcome your own challenges. The Boy Who Opened Our Eyes includes depth of knowledge questions and activities aligned to the Common Core Standards, in addition to a glossary and a unique "hands-on" braille card to model braille reading for all learners.
