Colors, Rubin tells us, impact everyone through sound, smell, taste, and a vast array of emotions and atmospheres. She explains that Even if 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 wealthy in detail and inspiration drawn from on a regular basis 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 across the world 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?” Even if most of us are not blind, Rubin believes that many people have traits that make us something other than “normal.” These differences, like blindness, may look like barriers, but for the strong and the persistent, dreams can overcome barriers, no matter how large they may seem. That is what makes her story so unique yet universal and so vital for young readers.
