Publisher's Summary:
Toby has just learned he'll never see again. Now he's learning just how frustrating it can be doing even simple things when you're blind. And it doesn't help when his big brother Jake, and little sister Emma, laugh at him when things don't go right. But there's always a way to make things easier - isn't there?

Cute!
This book was very adorable and informative. It really is a great way for children to understand blindness and that just because you can't see doesn't mean you can't still do things yourself.
Do they smother him with love? Protect him
Tobyâs old world, the one in which he could see, is gone. He has glaucoma, the kind which cannot be treated, and will remain blind. His mother tells him he will be okay, his father tells him he will be okay but Toby is upset and angry. How can things be okay when he is not able to eat without covering himself and his stuffed bear with food? How can things be okay when he cannot find his clothes or his toothbrush? How can things be okay when his brother and sister laugh at him blundering about?
Tobyâs New World is a very short book but gets to the root of a difficult subject: how do parents and children handle a situation wherein illness changes a childâs world. Do they smother him with love? Protect him? Challenge him? The answer is amazingly simple.
This story touched my heart. I recommend it to parents and children alike.
I received a free copy from the writer for a review, which has not influenced the review in any way.
