When registered nurse Arlene Evans worked as a school nurse in California, her interest was sparked in color vision deficiency (CVD), commonly known as colorblindness. A common genetic disorder with many associated challenges, CVD is present in approximately 12 percent of people worldwide. Because she could find no literature for children on this subject, she wrote Seeing Color: It's My Rainbow, Too. Encouraged by the book's reception, she then authored Color is in the Eye of the Beholder for the older reader.
