Excerpt from author's statement: When I began writing this book, I hoped that it ... read morewould serve as a fun way for parents to teach their children how to tie their shoelaces using the "Circle" technique. While this technique is less well-known, I felt that it was best suited to the strengths of children with visual impairments, as it was very easy to describe through tactile information. The "zig-zag" structure of the book allows readers to lay the whole story out and access any part of the instructions without having to flip through its pages. The book also comes with actual laces in bright colors, so that children can practice tying knots as their parents read aloud to them.
