I just live here, like you, like you, like you
I can feel the suns hot rays, like you
I can touch the snows cold flakes, like you
I can taste the butter on the potatoes, like you.
I can read any book I choose like you
You can see the world, I can't
I can hear the humming bird far away, can you?
I can hear the clocks small tick, can you?
I can read little raised bumps off a paper, can you?
I can enjoy my life, like you, like you, like you

PROJECTS
Our
short term plans call for producing twenty titles in
each of the next five years. Our books will emphasize the use of tactile
images. We intend that each of these titles will be well done, and intelectually stimulating.
Touch The
Sun
VIEW's first project was the production of Touch The
Sun by Noreen Grice, the second book in the
Touch The Universe series. For more information on Touch The Sun, see the link below.
