Walk a Mile in My Shoes

Dialogue in the Dark Join me as Saadya our blind guide takes us on a tour of six different exhibits. Check that your small change is safe in your pocket — you’ll need that money later on. Hold on to your special cane — you’ll be using it a lot over the next hour to tap the dark space in front of you. As soon as our group of five turns the corner and enters the exhibit I feel afraid. In fact I don’t think I want to go on the tour at all. Then Saadya our guide greets us and puts us all against a wall. When I feel something solid I calm down and remind myself that I really do want to tell Jr. readers what it’s like to be blind for an hour.
