Did you know that 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are colour blind? "Colour blindness and me" was written to raise awareness about red-green colour blindness, in a world that is saturated by colour. Ten-year-old Malachi, writes touchingly about the difficulties he faces because he is red-green colour blind, how he overcomes them, and ways people can help him and others like him. The book presents facts about colour blindness in an understandable way, with life experiences intertwined throughout. Whilst celebrating the differences and uniqueness of us all, Malachi sensitively provides practical tips, to help families and teachers alike, to make life easier for those affected by colour blindness. The layout of the book allows the reader to see through the eyes of someone who is colour blind, with the layout of the book showing how Malachi's see colour on even-numbered pages and how people with full-colour vision see things on odd-numbered pages.
