Outlook 2024-06-10 - Chat With Author of the Children's Book "I Am Blind" Doris Belusic

I am blind! Next month, July, is Disability Pride Month and our guest this week is Doris Belusic who is a poet, nonfiction writer, magazine editor, recent university graduate, and now children's book author. We speak with Doris about meeting her through The Canadian Federation of the Blind, what it was like to go back to school as a mature student, and about the children's book she's written with plain language and for educational purposes to teach children that blindness is just another way of being in this world. In an article she was featured in last year, she was described as "unstoppable”, but the point of this book is that she and we must speak it loud and proud: "I Am Blind" - put out by Beech Street Books and Saunders Books for libraries and schools across the country.
