I have a book I am working on and I have a character in it who may have albinism--I need a reason he lives inside all day and I don't want it to be xp--I have learned much on this website and then I saw your blog. The character is a positive portrayal by the way--- You have a way to reach people and as I have seen all the reports of eyesight difficulty , being a parent myself of two without albinism, I thought I would share something my kids love... AUDIO BOOKS--I can't tell you how many parents never consider these for their kids. My girls have been listening to books on tape since the age of 2---there are many available through audiblekids.com for downloading or through amazon(it is harder to find them there) --winnie the pooh, the Harry potters, alice in wonderland, stuart little--so many amazing titles that for a kid with the added difficulty of vision impairment these would be a wonderful addition to their lives and minds. Libraries also loan them. My kids love them--we listen in the car as well and it has added to their attention spans. I love it because we are not listening to Disney radio for every car ride!!!
