Customer Reviews:
Brings the words in darkness to vibrant, colorful life
By Midwest Book Review - December 15, 2001If The World Were Blind... is an especial picturebook written by Karen Gedig Burnett and illustrated by Laurie Barrows for the purpose of teaching young readers about judgement and prejudice. Every two-page spread of the book is initially colored black, with only people's words and thoughts as well as main text standing out. Every two-page spread then folds out into a long mural twice the length of the open book, which brings the words in darkness to vibrant, colorful life, showing the people of all shapes and sizes who are thinking or saying the words that were printed on darkness before. While the foldouts make If The World Were Blind... more delicate than an ordinary picturebook, it is much sturdier than a pop-up book, and the format soundly drives home the book's conceptual message - that if people were not so quick to judge based on what they see at first glance, then everyone could learn and accept more from one another. "If the world were blind it wouldn't matter if... read more
Seeing with Our Hearts
By Rebecca of Amazon "The Rebecca Review" - May 22, 2004Of course, this book is not really about being blind; it's about looking past appearance to see the person underneath, it's about recognizing that personal qualities are more important than physical attributes, it's about treating people with respect. ~Karen Gedig Burnett
Why do we treat people in various ways? Why do others treat us with respect or disrespect? In "If the World Were Blind," Karen Gedig Burnett addresses the issues of how we judge people based on their skin color, nationality, clothes, body shape and looks. This is a book about judgment and prejudice.
This book is made up of pages with black backgrounds that fold out into full color scenes of people saying various negative and positive sentences. The point is well made because if you were blind you would not be able to see the scenes filled with people of different ethnicity, action and dress. White words are printed on the black background and a sentence in a white box at the base of the closed... read more
If The World Would Just Read This Book
By Chris Bowen - April 21, 2009The book's artistry pulls you in and the its message keeps you there. I've read this book to seven and eight year olds and it always commands a very silent classroom. Young kids seem struck by its elegant honesty. The "blind" pages are very effective in conveying its message as well. When younger kids read this book for a second or third time in my classroom library, they begin to pick up on how the "name-callers" in the book are not always who you might initially suspect. The intolerance comes from all kinds of sources and some kids I think begin to pick up on how pervasive intolerance can be. "If the World Were Blind" gives young readers a lot to think about.
