Every time a reader's eyes approached the library, our story trembled like a sheet of paper in the wind and curled its spine, repeating: "I'm a ghost, no one sees me. I'm a ghost, no one sees me." The world is full of stories. Some are long like crocodiles and others are so short they don't even reach the word END. But the secret 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 reader who is blind approaches the story's trembling pages. This reader is unlike any reader the secret story has ever encountered. And when she runs her fingertips over the book's white pages, the secret story is astonished by what she finds. A beautifully inclusive tale about sight loss, in which we learn that not all stories are meant to be read with the eyes.
