From Publishers Weekly:
Vision is only one means of experiencing one's surroundings, imply the author and artist of this affecting story. When Lucy's class gets ready "to do some painting," Lucy asks to work instead on a collage for her grandfather. Soft reds and blues predominate in Ayliffe's torn-paper collage art, which shows the girl rummaging amid cloth scraps for the perfect items ("She liked plunging her hands deep in the box and feeling with her eyes shut"), then sacrificing her outside playtime to collect "twigs, leaves, and two small feathers." In a final burst of creativity (though not a recommended artistic maneuver), Lucy snips a lock of her hair to simulate a golden retriever's coat. The pictured pooch is her blind grandfather's seeing-eye dog; examining her tactile portrait (reproduced on one of the final pages) a proud Grandpa observes, "It's the best picture I've ever seen." Both Ayliffe's expressive compositions and Moon's straightforward prose-which admirably presents a physical disability here without attendant emotion-convey Lucy's distinctive intensity; her example might well inspire youngsters to fashion similar projects. Ages 3-7.
