Chronicle As Books The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination
I loved this book from my first stumbling across it while hunting for a birthday present - I bought the child something else (not a book sort), but I bought this book for myself. I wasn't sure my son would like it - age 7 at the time of first reading - this story of a woman who no longer has sight and how she starts her journey on a subway train and where she goes in her mind. It's beautiful and unexpected and uplifting and yet sad in that we are all fragile humans way... and my son - to my happiness - looked at me when we finished reading the book and asked if we could read it again, right then and there. We did.

The Sound of Colors by Jimmy Liao tells the story of a young girl losing her sight, but trying to find her way in the world. With imagination, courage, heart, and hope she sets out to explore and discover the world one step at a time with her walking stick in hand to help guide her."Now I listen for the sound of the colors I cant see. I try to smell the shapes, taste the light and dark.I found this picture book years ago by chance at my local library. Almost as if it found me. Someone very closeLiao, J. (2008). The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination . Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.Picture Book SoakThis book was suggested to me on another book site and I fell in love with it. The illustrations are almost on par with the story itself in both language and theme. The illustrations are bright and captivating, but at the same time, imaginative and revealing. It is amazing how an illustrator can bring the words off the page and into our minds as easily as this book does. I
leaf through it during a mid-day nap in a friend's house, by the river. It's about the beautiful soul of a blind girl. Her eyes might not see the world, but her heart sees through its beauty.I found myself in shame. With a good vision, I'm not able to figure out the beauty as she does.And, the book, slowly, like a little spring, hacks into the deepest corner of my long-lost childhood dream - to write a play/ a book for kids.
When I just read it like several months ago ( not really sure) I thought it was ok the only thing that made me interested that time was the picture and that's all. But this time I reread it when i was in a really bad mood. I reckoned it was like a mood disorder or something but I just felt totally depressed. It was a really long day for me I mean I still have those days when I feel bad but that day seems extraordinarily bad for no good reason. I had wandered around to a street or a path or
Illustrations: 5 stars, text: 4 1/2. The colors, shapes, details, and mysteries in these pictures rather astounded me. It seems like Jimmy Liao spent about 50 hours planning and painting each watercolor in this book, and there are dozens and dozens of them, page after page. Almost every one of them is stunning. Merely flipping through this book is a pleasure, but sitting down, studying it, reading the text... what a joy.Like the other Jimmy book I've read (When the Moon Forgot), the text here is
I came across this book while weeding the fiction section at work and I just had to put it aside to look at it more. This story is about a nearly blind lady who describes what she "sees" in her imagination as she walks through life.The pictures are amazing; they are all interesting, if not what one would picture while on an acid trip--not disturbing...just sort of strange.I got a feeling of wistfulness at some parts of the story; in fact, I felt it right at the beginning: "A year ago / I began
