Books like The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination

I loved this book from my first stumbling across it while hunting for a birthday present - I bought the child something else (not a book sort), but I bought this book for myself. I wasn't sure my son would like it - age 7 at the time of first reading - this story of a woman who no longer has sight and how she starts her journey on a subway train and where she goes in her mind. It's beautiful and unexpected and uplifting and yet sad in that we are all fragile humans way... and my son - to my happiness - looked at me when we finished reading the book and asked if we could read it again, right then and there. We did.
