But the invisible story is unlike any other story because no one has ever read it! It lives hidden in the darkest corner of the library, far from where the famous tales, written in gold letters, shine. One day, a blind reader approaches the story’s trembling pages.

A beautifully inclusive tale about sight-loss in which we learn that not all stories are meant to be read with the eyes.
