older kids might enjoy Marcus Sedgwick's She is Not Invisible. The main character is a blind teen.

I can’t vouch for how good this book is since I read it as a child. But I remember enjoying it and learning a lot from it. The book is “Mom Can’t See Me” by Sally Hobart Alexander. The author is blind and the book is a true story written from the perspective of her nine year old daughter. It was published in 1990 and I read a review that said the language in it is a little dated. But when I saw this post I immediately thought of this book and then I spent like 20 minutes trying to find the name of it, so I thought I’d post about it anyway.

It looks like she’s written at least one other children’s book from the perspective of her daughter about getting a new guide dog called, “Mom’s Best Friend.”

In case anyone is looking for this later, I did find one about a girl making a tactile picture for her blind grandfather, “Lucy’s Picture.” Not a parent, but seems like as close as I’m going to get.

I thought about writing one but not creative enough. I was going to write about a blind kid going through school and did a bad job and I am awful at plot and not creative so yeah.

I should write one, but I'd be a badass superhero by night and a mild-mannered blind dad by day. SO perhaps not.
