Non-Fiction Memoir
Colors, Rubin tells us, affect everyone through sound,
smell, taste, and a vast array of emotions
and atmospheres. She explains that although she has
been blind since birth, she has experienced color all her
life.
In her memoir Do You Dream in
Color?, Laurie Rubin looks back on her life as an
international opera singer who happens to be blind.
From her loneliness and isolation as a middle school student
to her experiences skiing, Rubin offers her young
readers a life-story rich in detail and inspiration drawn
from everyday challenges. Beginning with her childhood
in California, Rubin tells the story of her life and the
amazing 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 people struggling with
two fundamental questions: "Who am I?" and "Where do I fit
in?" Although most of us aren't blind, Rubin believes
that many of us have traits that make us something other
than "normal." These differences, like blindness, may
seem like barriers, but for the strong and the persistent,
dreams can overcome barriers, no matter how large they
may seem. This is what makes her story so unique yet
universal and so important for young readers.
