Emma and I / Sheila Hocken 67 p.

Sheila Hocken has been totally blind from birth. She tells a heartwarming story of her life before and after Emma, her guide dog. She relates how when she bumped into something as she was out walking gingerly before Emma only to find herself apologizing to a lamppost. She makes you understand just how wonderful the freedom is that Emma brings to her life. And then there is the miracle of surgery that gives her sight—now she too can use the public library! I find this to be a joy to read. This is a story to be enjoyed again and again for its gentle humor and revealing candor.
