Photograph of the A Blind Bit of Difference Book Cover. The background design is a ‘rainbow’ of colours: green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple and blue. The colours zig-zag and swirl all over the page behind the finger painted words "A Blind Bit of Difference". At the bottom of the cover, with words over a blue background reads "An Anthology of Sensory Poetry from Joseph Clarke School Centre of Excellence for Vision Impairment and Complex Needs".

Praise for The Book:
“This is an explosion of a book; feelings, thoughts, memories, hopes, attitudes and more whizz through the air and land in our minds. I feel privileged to read it. Please read it too and share your favourite poem with someone. These young people are poets!”
- Michael Rosen
“It’s amazing to see young minds at work, improvising Spoken Word, out loud, free of their Braille machines, whilst breaking out into the new found confidence of life changing performance!”
– Zara Jayne ‘In Sight Theatre’
“This book is alive with colour and imagination. The students take you on a vivid journey of exploration, taking the senses beyond what is seen and into a world deep with meaning, poignancy and texture. A joy to read.”
– Kara Jarrold ‘Sense’ National Deafblind Charity
It’s an important book, and most beautifully, it rings of a freedom that the poets discovered through writing and synaesthetic metaphor”.
– Stephanie Singer ‘BitterSuite’ and ‘Open Senses Festival’
