Do You Dream in Color?: Insights from a Girl Without Sight

Do You Dream in Color?: Insights from a Girl Without Sight

Colors, Rubin tells us, affect everyone through sound, smell, taste, and a vast array of emotions andÂ atmospheres. She explains that although she has been blind since birth, she has experienced color all her life.

In her memoirÂ Do You Dream in Color?, Laurie Rubin looks back on her life as an international opera singerÂ who happens to be blind. From her loneliness and isolation as a middle school student to her experiencesÂ skiing, Rubin offers her young readers a life-story rich in detail and inspiration drawn from everydayÂ challenges. Beginning with her childhood in California, Rubin tells the story of her life and the amazingÂ experiences that led her to a career as an internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano.

Rubin describes her past as a "journey towards identity," one she hopes will resonate with young peopleÂ struggling with two fundamental questions: "Who am I?" and "Where do I fit in?" Although most of us aren'tÂ blind, Rubin believes that many of us have traits that make us something other than "normal." TheseÂ differences, like blindness, may seem like barriers, but for the strong and the persistent, dreams canÂ overcome barriers, no matter how large they may seem. This is what makes her story so unique yet universalÂ and so important for young readers.
