“Jack and Jill” is a familiar nursery story throughout the English-speaking world, and is one of the most beloved of Mother Goose’s nursery rhymes. This new adaptation of the nursery rhyme brings together the five verses of this rhyme, with some adaptation of the text, to become the delightful story presented in this book. Children and adults alike will read and re-read this story with pleasure and delight, peopling memories with the unfortunate children of the nursery rhyme.Decorated with illustrations by legally-blind author, editor, and illustrator, Debbie Barry, this book is a celebration of wishes and imagination. The high-contrast, white-on-black text and illustrations, combine with the extra-large letters, make this book accessible for many visually-impaired and legally-blind readers. Visually accessible books are important, not only for adults, but for those children who, through illness, injury, or from birth experience reduced vision. This is a personal mission of the illustrator, who was blessed to grow up with normal vision, and had a love of reading from early child, but who lost most of her vision while her children were still young.
